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 friend, I’m glad you are thinking of going camping this summer. I think it’s a brilliant idea, you will really enjoy it. I went on a camping holiday once and it was a great experience. There you can learn things you wouldn’t think about nature and survival. You will see animals in their habitat and flowers and plants you may not ever see. But, what I appreciated the most was all the people I met and friends I made, with who I still keep in touch. Don’t forget that there are some things you have to be prepared for. You will be in nature and that means a lot of insects (you should check your tent before sleep) and the toilet will be behind a tree. If you don’t mind about it, everything is going to be fine. When are you going on this camping holiday and for how long? I will have two weeks holidays in summer and I really would like to go with you. I have a really good memory from my camping holiday so it would be nice to do it again and have this experience with you. Best regards,
