πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I'm Saf. I teach CSEC Spanish at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for the May–June 2027 exams. In this lesson, listen to my letter, then look at how each point in the task turns into its own sentences. Then write your own letter about a new prize. Just don't copy my sentences into your exam letter. Use your own ideas.


Hola mis amigos πŸ‘‹πŸ½

A letter can be in good Spanish and still leave out part of a point. Some points ask for two things at once, like how you found out that you won and how you reacted. If you write about one and forget the other, half of that point is missing from your letter.

Today we write a letter that answers every part of every point.

By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

  • split each point of a letter task into the parts it asks for;

  • write the date, the greeting and the ending of a letter in Spanish;

  • tell a finished event in the past and your plans in the future;

  • describe a shopping trip in detail, step by step;

  • write a full letter of 130 to 150 words on a new task.

In the full lesson you'll hear me read a complete letter. Then we take it apart point by point, and you write your own.
