Writing Challenge: Uncountable Nouns

Dear lovely students,

I do miss you hardly terribly. I hope you are doing great in this cold [weather].
I still remember your lovely [noise] that you've usually made. I still keep all your stuff we did together, they were golden old days, weren't they?

What about your continous complaint? Are you still escaping from your [homework]?

I'm proud of you. Miss. Manal keeps updating me with latest [news]. Remember! You are the [sunshine] of our future, so never keep your and our heads down.

I may catch up with you later.

Good [luck]!

With my [love],

Ymn Pearl

Notes:

A correction has been made by @Tara. I add it to my blog because this is a common error!

Note: Be careful how you use hardly. Most of the time this word means "barely" (almost not at all). I know that you meant "forcefully" but it's not common to use this with the word "miss". We usually say, "I miss you terribly" or "I miss you so much" or "I miss you like crazy!".

Tips has been added by @Expector Smith

-"Noise" can be used as a countable or uncountable noun: a noise, noises, or noise.

-"Weather" is an uncountable noun, but in this phrase "in all weathers", you can see an "S" added to the word "weather".

@Cinderella,

Thanks for dropping by.

Really, happy you like it. While writing the letter, I imagined that I was writing a real letter to them. I really missed them forcefully. :(

How an awesome Cinderella you are! :)

@Expector Smith,

Well, we just use "weathers" in such phrase "in all weathers".

If you don't mind I'm going to add these tips into the blog to be read by all.

Thanks for your help.

@Rajesh,

Sooooooooooooooo Thanks! :D

@Tara, Your welcome.

I got it now, so using "Hardly" with the word "miss" is a common mistake. Lots of people are making this mistake. Thanks for your tip. I will paste your tip in our Facebook group to be read by lots of members. :)

@Experctor Smith, Thanks!

- I heard a strange noise outside.

- I think if It comes in names only, right!
