Band 9: You recently started a new hobby, such as painting or gardening, and you have become quite enthusiastic about it. You want to encourage a friend who is feeling a bit down to try it as well. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: describe your new hobby and why you enjoy it; suggest how it might help your friend feel better; propose a time when you could do this activity together.

Dear Faith,

I hope you are doing well. It has been a while since we last caught up. I am writing about my newly acquired hobby, which has become very interesting.

I have developed an intense liking for cycling of late. During evenings and weekends, I usually cycle around our neighbourhood, covering at least 8 kilometres every day. The amazing scenery I encounter during my trips is what makes the experience epic. I was introduced to this activity by my cousin Peter. I would like to request your company on my subsequent rides.

Since the activity involves following a hilly and narrow track, the precision and physical demands of the exercise are what you will find thrilling, given your recent desire to diversify your exercises. I have an extra bike for your convenience.

If you are available, we can do our first trip together this coming Sunday, the twenty-third of September. We can commence our journey at Kipsigak Junction as we move around Simat Village following Kipsigak Junction-Ndulele Road.

I am looking forward to doing this with you.

Best wishes,

Dennis.
