Band 5+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 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 my friend

I hope you are doing well. The reason why I am addressing you is that I want to ask you some questions about your hometown as well as request advice about a gift which I will bring it for your family members.

On the one hand, you know when I go my friend’s home as a guest, I always visit there with some nice gift. So, as you know I am looking for a something your family desire, and tell me what you would prefer me to bring. I suggest you some items as some techniques, intresting books or clothes.

You know very well that I am really keen on doing sport activities and wearing beautiful clothes. Hence, I have a question for you. According to this, are there football stadium? and which clothes do people in your country wear mostly? As well as are there many shops to buy clothes near to your house? It is said that basketball is a common sport in your country, but I do not like playing it. Therefore, are there other activities to do?

Due to the fact that I go gym everyday, I need to eat more and healthy foods. So, what kind of foods do people in your country usually consume? In addition, in your living place is not it challenging to find rice. Because, I need to eat more rice. Due to it has a lot of proteins.

Yours faithfully
