Band 9: You are planning a weekend hiking trip with a group of friends but need to finalize the details. Write a letter to your friends outlining the plan. You should include details about: - the proposed dates and location for the hike - the level of difficulty and any necessary equipment - how you will handle transportation and meals.

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to confirm all the details for our weekend trip to the countryside, so everyone knows what to expect.

First, about transportation: we’ll all meet at Amir Temur metro station at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday. I’ve booked a minivan that can take all six of us comfortably. The driver will pick us up from there, so please try to be on time.

As for the plan, we’ll arrive at the guesthouse around 10:30. After settling in, we’ll go for a short hike to the nearby lake and have a picnic there. In the evening, we’re planning a barbecue and some board games. On Sunday morning, we’ll rent bicycles and explore the hills before heading back to Tashkent in the afternoon.

To make things easier, I suggest dividing the items we need. You can bring the portable speaker and some snacks. I’ll take care of the barbecue supplies. Aziz should bring the board games, and Shox can prepare tea and disposable cups. Everyone should also bring comfortable shoes, a warm jacket, and a refillable water bottle.

Let me know if you think we should add anything or change part of the plan. Really looking forward to this weekend!
