You want to learn a language. A teacher who teaches this language lives near the area where you live. Write a letter to the teacher. In your letter: - say how you came to know about him/her - explain why you want to learn this language - ask what help he/she can offer
Dear Ms. Forks,
My name is Gabriella Evans. I live nearby. I am writing to ask for some help with the ancient language you know.
I heard some stories about you and your family from my mom when I was younger. She told me that your folk retained an ability to speak with trees and animals, and you, perhaps, have
this
skill too.
When I was twelve, I decided to dedicate my life to saving our planet. I obtained two master's degrees in biology and law to protect indigenous nations and endemic species in our country. I want to dive deeper and be able to build strong connections with nature by talking with it.
I know you are working in the garden several hours a day. I see you almost daily when I am coming back home. It would be great if you let me spend some time with you in the garden, maybe on weekends or in the evenings on workdays. I am eager to know more about plants and ways to communicate with them.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Gabriella EvansSubmitted by 8453525 on
