How to Write a Postcard

Writing: postcard to a friend

Introduction

A postcard is a short message you send to someone, often while you are on holiday or visiting a new place. It’s a quick way to share your experiences and send warm greetings.

Postcard Structure

Greeting: Start with "Dear ..." or "Hi ..."
Body: Write about where you are, what you are doing, and something interesting you’ve seen or done.
Closing: End with "Best wishes," "Love," or "See you soon," followed by your name.

Example

Dear Sara,

I’m in Paris and the weather is amazing! Yesterday, I visited the Eiffel Tower and took some beautiful photos. The food here is delicious — I tried croissants for breakfast this morning.

See you soon,
Lina
