How a friendly letter mind map helps you study

An English friendly letter mind map breaks a personal letter into its five parts, so you can see the order and what each section does before a test or assignment.

  • Heading: sender's address and date, placed in the top right in most classroom examples
  • Greeting: salutation such as Dear Grandma, followed by a comma
  • Body: opening, details or news, and a closing thought in one or more paragraphs
  • Closing and signature: a phrase such as Love or Your friend, then the writer's name

Editable branches

Rename, move, or add branches so the map matches how your teacher covered the friendly letter.

Explorable structure

Expand or collapse each part of the letter to check what goes in the heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature.

Built from your material

Start from your own notes, slides, or a photo of the board instead of a generic template.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of your English class handout.

Review the branches

Check the main branches for each part of a friendly letter and adjust anything that does not match your class.

Study or export

Explore the map in the browser on the Free plan, or export it to PDF, DOCX, or Anki on Plus.

Friendly letters are informal and written to people you know, which is why students often mix them up with business letters. Branches for tone, punctuation of the greeting and closing, and the placement of the date and address make those differences easy to review.

Once the map is built from your own notes, you can expand each branch and quiz yourself on it, then return to the parts you still miss.
