Your child is going on a three-day school trip to another country. The head teacher wants to find parents to go with the group and you would like to go. Write a letter to the head teacher. In your letter: • Say why you would like to go on the trip • Suggest what you could do to help during the trip • Ask other questions about the trip

Dear Ms Stone, I understand from my son, Steven, that you are looking for some parents who could join the school

trip

to Japan. I would like to volunteer to join the group if you still have a vacancy to fill. I have been learning Japanese for two years now and I will be sitting for a Japanese Language Proficiency Test in July

next

year. It will the exam takers on reading, writing, listening, as well as speaking. As the school

trip

is to Japan coincidentally, I would like to take

this

opportunity to improve my Japanese and speak to the locals outside the school

trip

hours. I believe that I will be able to help out the

trip

organizing teacher and the tour leader as well. At the very least, I can help to keep a watch on the children. As I am a nurse by profession, I can be of aid if any of us in the group needs medical help,

although

I hope that would not happen. I would appreciate it if you could let me know whether or not I could join the

trip

,
