A: Making opening paragraph in english is just the same like making opening paragraph in bahasa. If you aren't sure about the writing, all you need to do is to follow the simple basic rule of sentence structure in both english and bahasa that is
S (subject) + P (predicate) + O (object) + Adverb.
All you need to do is be confident with your writings :-)
I remember when i started to learn writing in english, I wrote the bahasa version first then translated it into english. If you are familiar in writing opening paragraph in bahasa you can try to do this first. Gradually when you gain more confidence and your vocabulary improve through reading and practice, your mind start to remember the sentence structure in english, then it will be a simple matter to write opening paragragh directly in english.
Another thing you can say to yourself is THERE IS NO RULES of letter structure for informal letter, though we all know that in our school lesson we have been introduced to the letter structure which is
first paragraph - introduction,
second paragraph and on - content,
last paragraph - wrap up/summary/closure depend on the topics you're writing.
Usually when I write long letter and it comes from a habit of writing in bahasa, when I shifted the topic into something else, I started new paragraph. To make the shifting is quite smooth I used conjunction words.
Everything takes time and practice makes perfect :-)
