You have won a holiday to Hawaii with one extra ticket. Write a letter to someone to invite them along with you. In the letter: - Explain what has happened and that you would like them to come - Give details of when the trip will take place - Inform the person of the things they will need for the trip

Dear Erik, How have you been? It's been 4 months since our
trip
to Indonesia and it was
such
an exciting experience to have you as my travel partner.
Therefore
, I would like to invite you for a
trip
to
Hawaii
this
August.
Right
now, you may ask me how I got 2 tickets in
Hawaii
in the first place. The reason was I actually won a lottery
while
strolling down to the shopping mall to buy some clothes. At that time, I came across a small kiosk listing the first prize was a pair of tickets to
Hawaii
. Seeing that, I thought "Why not" and gave it a try.
As a result
,
right
now I am having the ticket, still in shock and writing
this
letter to invite you ,my friend. The
trip
will be a month from now, from August 16 till August 31, which is going to be a 2-week
trip
. We depart from Noi Bai Airport and transit to Tokyo before heading to
Hawaii
International Airport of Honolulu. There will be a tour guide for
this
trip
to show us around.
Right
now, I am working on my travel VISA to the US and I suggest you do the same
right
away.
Also
since it is very sunny in
Hawaii
, sunglasses and suncreams are the 2 most essential items to go as well.
Additionally
, we will exchange some US dollars for the surfboard rental and other travel expenses since the agency will cover our accommodation. Again, I would like to have you on the
trip
with me my friend. Please let me know one week from now if you can make it for the holiday. Best regards, Son Nguyen

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
