A friend of yours is thinking of going on a camping holiday for the first time this summer. He/she has asked for your advice. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: * explain why you think your friend would enjoy a camping holiday * describe some possible disadvantages * say whether you would like to go camping with your friend this summer
Dear Mike,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I heard you're going on camping holidays with your father this
summer. Man, this
is a great idea! We went last
year with my family, and it was incredible.
All this
fresh air and giant trees around give you a feeling of absolute freedom. In addition
, I saw a lot of wildlife and a bunch of colourful butterflies there. If I'm not mistaken, you like them, so I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
I didn't make a proper analysis before the trip, which was a big mistake. I suffered from mosquitos the whole month, so don't forget to take some repellent with you. And... Being ready for a non-classic toilet and bathroom experience. It was the most challenging part for me.
If I weren't sent to a summer camp in Malta this
year, I would go camping with your family. It would be really great. Let's organize something like that next year. What do you think?
Say hi to your mom and dad! I tremendously miss her delightful cherry pie.
Hope to see you soon, buddy,
