Hi Tom, Hope you are doing well. I’m really excited about our school trip next month. I think it will be interesting and fun. It would be great if we visited a science museum and a famous square. The teacher could plan some fun activities like quizzes and photo competitions. It will be a good chance to learn something new. Let me know what you think about it. Write back soon! Best, Ali
