Let’s go step by step to match each part of the letter with its correct name.
We have five numbered blanks in the letter, and five word choices on the right:
- signature
- body
- heading
- closing
- greeting
---
Step 1: Look at #1 — “July 12th, 2020”
This is the date at the top of the letter. In letters, the date (and sometimes address) goes in the
heading. So #1 =
heading
---
Step 2: Look at #2 — “Dear Sara,”
This is how you start talking to the person you’re writing to. That’s called the
greeting. So #2 =
greeting
---
Step 3: Look at #3 — The paragraph that says “How are you? I hope you are having fun...” etc.
This is the main message of the letter — what you want to say. That’s the
body. So #3 =
body
---
Step 4: Look at #4 — “Your friend,”
This comes before your name and is a polite way to end the letter. That’s the
closing. So #4 =
closing
---
Step 5: Look at #5 — “Tommy Smith”
This is the writer’s name at the very bottom. That’s the
signature. So #5 =
signature
---
Now let’s double-check:
1. July 12th, 2020 → heading
✔
2. Dear Sara, → greeting
✔
3. How are you?... → body
✔
4. Your friend, → closing
✔
5. Tommy Smith → signature
✔
All match perfectly!
Final Answer:
1. heading
2. greeting
3. body
4. closing
5. signature
