Love letters to strangers
Hannah Brencher's mother always wrote her letters. So when she felt herself bottom into depression after college, she did what felt natural -- she wrote love letters and left them for strangers to find. The act has become a global initiative, The World Needs More Love Letters, which rushes handwritten letters to those in need of a boost.
TASK 1 Love letters to strangers
Watch her TED talk and answer in English to the following questions. You can discuss the questions in English with your parter or write your answers to your notebook.
1. Have you ever received a love letter from someone or written one?
2. Why did Hannah start writing love letters to strangers?
3. How can letter writing help people?
4. Would you write a love letter to a stranger who was in need of a boost? If you answer no, justify.
TASK 2 Request for love letters
Check out love letter requests from Hannah's web page and pick one request you would like to answer. Write a love letter to him/her in English. If you want to, you can send it too!
Peace & Love!
