A friend you met last year has invited you to visit him/her in his/her country. You have never been there before and need some information before you leave. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: request advise about a gift for his/her family ask about activities and clothing in his/her country find out about the food

Dear John, How are you? It's been a while since I wrote a letter to you. Remember when we met last year, we discussed about visiting your country for a short tour. Thanks for inviting me to France. I'm planning to visit there next month and I'm absolutely thrilled to meet you in Paris. Can you suggest me some ideas to buy a gift for your family. How about a ceramic photo frame? I really want to gift something but running out of ideas. What about the fun activities that we planned last year? Let's party! ! I know you want to take me to the amusement park and museum. Hope weather permits us next month to visit those places. Also, can you suggest some clothings that I need to bring. It will be summer and so I planned to take only cotton clothes. Let me know for any additional clothings. As you know, I am a foodie and ofcourse would love to taste the different varieties of food in Paris. Do you know any places where we can try continental food and Italian? Also, let me know some of the food items that can't be missed out. Convey my warm regards to your family. Hope to see you soon! With Love, Siva
