It is strange how things turn out sometimes. If I remember well, around the 4th grade, me and the class I was in, we learned to write letters. There was a substitue teacher and she wanted us to write to a future Everest climber. So, she show us how to address the letter, how to write the letter itself and how to end the letter. For the text, she dictated it to us.
At the time, I was not interest to write to an guy heading on to climb the Everest. It also seems to be forced on us. We didn't say anything on this project. The only positive in this experience: years later, I am using that knowledge in writing letters to do it. Various occasion had presented themselves for letters to be written. The most recent formal writing: I wrote, yesterday, a letter to an organisation that host some activities from another organisation. The goal: that the first organisation keep the activities from the second organisation after a move to another building. I do not know if it will work but I wish the best.
Not a wasted learning. Only that I wished it was a little bit more exciting and more interesting. I doubt that it is still be show in classes. If so, I hope they do it in a more interesting way and with a better choice to the person.
