This post is in the form of a letter. It is a letter I wrote to one of my students. As explained in a previous post, I am a private tutor, and I like to give my students extra practice when I am away. Extra practice sometimes takes the form of letters. Here is one of my letters:
Dear Student,
I hope you are having a good week and had a good time on your field trip.
I wanted to tell you about staying on a farm in a town called Bergthorshvall in Iceland. The funny part is that there is only one farm in Bergthorshvall. There are no other houses or stores. It's a really old farm too. It has existed for about a thousand years! In fact, there is a very famous Icelandic story that is told about the people who lived on this farm. It's called a saga story, and it is very, very complicated. It is all about a man named Njall (Neal) and his family.
This farm has chickens, horses, and sheep. I didn't see any chickens while I was there, but I did get to visit the sheep. I was excited to feed and pet the sheep. They were so hungry! Some of the sheep even climbed up on top of the other sheep just to get to the food in the trough. A trough holds animal food.I even got to see a baby lamb. It was only a few days old. The farm worker said he is expecting many more lambs soon.
I never stayed on a farm before, so it was a new and unique experience. I better go, but I look forward to seeing you later!
Your teacher,
Elaina
