Unfortunately, such events sometimes occur in people's lives in connection with which relatives and friends cannot live nearby. But, despite this, it is necessary to remember everyone who has done good for you, who loves you and worries. Surely this person is interested in what is happening in your life, are you satisfied with your fate, do you need help. And I want to share with my family and friends what lies on my soul.
Do not forget grandparents!
Elderly people, especially grandparents, especially need this attitude. Today there are many opportunities for communication from a distance: telephone communications, skype, electronic communications over the Internet. But not all older people have the opportunity to use these types of services.
And even if the grandmother has the opportunity to communicate via the Internet or mobile communication, the old form of communication through letters contains a huge positive meaning. The letter to the grandmother, which was written by her beloved grandson, contains not only information, but also the handwriting of his child's hand, his smell, his drawing.
The advantage of letters on paper over other forms of communication
A telephone conversation is, of course, very good. But it can be remembered without any evidence at hand. And if we take into account the fact that older people are often forgetful, then a letter to her grandmother, written on paper and stored in the drawer of her chest of drawers, has a huge advantage over a phone call or SMS message. After all, you can get it, read it, hold it in your hands and feel the human warmth.
In other words, the letter to the grandmother is the attitude of the grandchildren embodied in the subject, feelings that can be touched.
Types of letters
The school curriculum indicates that the letters belong to the
epistolary genre. There are
letters of wishes, letters of congratulations, letters of gratitude and informative letters.
If a letter is sent to grandmother in order to congratulate her on a date, then this will be a letter of congratulation. A sent message in which a grandson thanks his grandmother for a gift, congratulation or advice is called a letter of thanks. A wish letter rarely exists by itself; more often, wishes are contained in a letter of congratulation or in other types of messages.
But the most common letter to a grandmother from a grandson is usually informative. In it, the author tells something about himself, takes an interest in the affairs of the addressee and wishes him, that is, his grandmother, health, good mood, long life or something more specific: raising his pension, a successful operation, winning a competition in flower growers, successfully tied cardigan. It is appropriate to include in its content both the words of gratitude and congratulations on any holiday, if one is expected in the near future.
Letter Appeal - Conception
Before you
write a letter to your grandmother, you need to understand that this is also a literary text, the genre of which obeys its own rules, canons. It should be remembered that the letter, like all other types of literary texts, should have three parts.
The beginning - the beginning - contains a message of greeting. Since the grandmother is a dear and beloved person, sensitively reacting to any manifestation of tenderness, one should not skimp on kind and tender epithets: the words “dear”, “beloved”, “my dear”, “dear” both at the beginning of the message and in the middle , and in the end they will show the elderly woman that they love her, remember, miss her. These words will warm her soul, brighten her days, bring great joy.
Then, at the very beginning of the letter, you can express gratitude for something: for a recently received message, parcel, and congratulation. For example, it might look like this: “Hello, my dear, beloved grandmother Lisa! I was very happy to receive a letter from you - thank you very much for it! ”
The main (main) part of the letter
This is the most important part of the message, since writing a letter to grandmother without saying a word about her affairs will be the height of indecency. An empty, meaningless letter deeply hurts a loved one. After all, the grandmother is probably interested in everything that happens to her loved ones, they care about their state of mind. Therefore, you can write about this in this part of the letter about everything: share a story from life, tell some news, tell about joyful events.
Writing about sad elderly people is not recommended, only in the most critical situations, when you can’t do without reporting unpleasant news. After all, grandparents react too emotionally to everything that relates to their beloved grandchildren.
Letter ending
The final part of the letter is also important - the ending. Here you should ask about the affairs of the grandmother, her health, plans for the near future. Although questions can also be asked at the beginning of the letter.
Here, one should recall such a tradition in the epistolary genre as sending greetings to common friends, good wishes to the addressee himself and those to whom greetings are sent. It is also appropriate to make some requests in this part of the message. But the main thing at the end of the letter is the words of farewell and a signature with a date.
And again, it must be emphasized: in the farewell, tenderness and care should go through. Therefore, it is best not just to write the word “goodbye”, but to add treatment with an epithet expressing love and affection. Let the farewell be warm and cordial, for example, such: “Goodbye, my dearest and dearest person, my dear granny! Hoping to see you soon, your senior grandson Vasily Maltsev. 22. 02. 2014 year. "
