Do you know how to write an English letter and envelope?
When we write a letter in Chinese, we always put the date at the end of the letter. But it is different in English. We have to put it on the top of the right corner. And above the date, we also write the number of our house and the names of our street, city and country. To begin the letter, we always use the word like "Dear sir",　 "Dear Mr./Miss./Ms.…". To end the letter, we usually use words like "Yours”, “Yours ever" or "Truly yours".
