You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

You play sports (e.g. football) for a local team. You recently heard that a player in your team is in a hospital. Write a letter to your teammate. In your letter

• say how you feel about the news
• ask about the treatment in the hospital
• suggest some ways of cheering him/her up

Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear ……………..,

Dear Matias,

I’m so sorry to know that you have been hospitalized. I was shocked when I heard that from the coach. It really saddens me that one of our most important team member will not be with us on our next match.

On another note, I actually know that the hospital you are in is a good one. But how are they treating you? I hope you are feeling comfortable, and getting better. Did the doctors explain what virus you contracted and how they are going to deal with it?

We all wish you gain your health as soon as possible, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. So please always keep your hopes up, as everyone is waiting for you here. In fact, we still reserve your spot in every training session. Also all our fans are sending you good wishes over social media, your hashtag is trending there. We will be all visiting you the moment we are allowed to.
