You are planning to visit your friend Mike in England. Mike has written to you. lL5RX
Dear Mike, I hope you have been keeping well. It’s been a long time since we last met and that’s the reason why I was so eagerly waiting to see you. I was very happy to have been invited to your summer trip to the countryside. Because It would be my first time spending my holiday in England. I have been to England twice but just due to my work. I have never got a chance to visit any interesting and peaceful places there before. I would rather make a homestay than sleep in a tent as I would like a convenient and comfortable place to rest and relax. It would also be easier for me to show off my cooking and introduce you and your friend to my country’s traditional cuisine such as “pho”. “Pho” is one of the most favorite and famous food in my country as well as overseas countries. My mom taught me how to cook delicious and traditional pho and I would like you and your friend could enjoy its good taste. In the summer holiday, I would get much time so I could come to see you a few days before the trip. I really love to have time to be with you. If it would be possible, I would prefer to have a London tour with you. I hope you could guide me to some wonderful places and recommend to me some famous cuisine in your city. And I could buy some souvenirs for my family there too. How do you think about my idea? Let me know your decision I am looking forward to seeing you soon! Love, Rachel
