Informal Email 2
Hi Marcos,
How are the things going? I have just received your email. Is it true that we aren't going to take part in the basketball competition? I couldn't be more enraged. I've been working hard for this tournament. It's not fair. My parents have tried to cheer me up, but it hasn't worked out. I think I'll write to the coach. I need him to tell me the reasons why we are getting benched. If I were you, I would do the same.
Anyway, It's getting late. Don't forget to drop me a line when you have time.
Bye for now,
Sergio

I needwant him to tell me (the reasons) why we are getting benched.

Thanks a lot!

'take part in' is a fairly formal way of saying 'joining', for an informal email 'joining' is fine
I couldn't be more enragedadder.
Again, 'enraged' is not very fitting for an informal email to a friend.

Very good text! Technically it's almost perfect, just some things aren't really used in informal emails, but very clear writing!!
How are the things going?
you don't need to use "the" when saying "things" - just "How are things going?"
