The text of your postcard

It is good to start the text of your email with a question

For an email about your vacation, you must

Checklist

• The verbes are in the right tense
• I've checked the verbs in passé composé : être ou avoir, agreement rule
• I've checked that if the subject is singular, the verb is singular / if the subject is plural, the verb is plural
• I've used the Internet to look for some words, not to copy whole sentences
