Band 6+: A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: - give contact details for when you are away, - give instructions about how to care for your pet, - describe other household duties you would like your friend to undertake. When giving contact details, you do NOT need to write any addresses; something like the name of a friend you are staying with or a holiday destination is fine.

Dear Silvia,

I want to tell you that i’m leaving for vacation next week which is next Saturday around 6 am in the morning and will be back in three days. First of all thank you so much for taking the time to look after my dog and my house. So, you’re going need to enter a password to get in which is 299601. And, make sure to put the password correctly because the door gets locked after three tries. If something like this happens you can always call me and i can help you.

As you’ve already met my pet, Milo, he’s a good boy but can be stubborn at times so you might get annoyed. For his diet, he eats three times a day and food is in the one of the cabinets to the bottom left of the kitchen and his treats are also in there as well. I’m also gonna send you a photo of where exactly it is so you don’t get confused. Also, Milo loves to go for an evening walk. And one more important thing, he’s on medication for his leg as he got injured lately. So, please make sure you give him medicine 2 times a day as well. I’m gonna leave it in the same cabin where the food is.

Feel free to cook for yourself when you’re here. I’m gonna buy grocery and snacks for you before the go. There’s one more favour i want from you, could you please clean my lawn because i’ve checked the weather it’s gonna rain for a whole week after i’m gone. I couldn’t get the time to do it myself and also i’m doing overtime which leaves me with no time.

See you soon
