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 Mark, It has been a while since we last met. I had a really great time with your cousins at your farm house. Since you have been thinking to go for a camping holiday this summer, I wanted to share my experiences as this is your first experience. I think you would really enjoy this camping trip, especially the forest and the natural surroundings. I am aware of the fact that you love being around nature and this shall hence be one of the most memorable experiences ever. Having said that, camping does have its own challenges. Like the cold chilly nights, threat of wild bears and other animals, mosquitoes, bugs etc. It is important to stay prepared for any adversaries. I have my entrance exams scheduled this summer, else I would have loved to join you. Do send me pictures and look forward to see you soon. Lots of love, John
