Your local travel agent recommended a place to visit and you are now having a good time there. Write a letter to your travel agent and tell them the following:– what you have been doing
|
Model Answer:
Dear Mr. Hansen,
I am writing to you as promised in order to share my holiday experience, so far.
Starting with the things I have been involved in, such as last week I went to Aqua World and saw the dolphin show. Additionally, I have been swimming every day and I am starting to get a great tan. Yesterday, I met some other hotel guests from my country, and we had lunch together.
Prior to my vacation finishing, I have made plans to go out on a trek this Saturday. I am really looking forward to it very much. After that, I hope to take a river cruise which also includes a five-course dinner. Time permitting, I will finish with a coffee in that famous store you recommended that is in Rundle Mall.
As to why I am so enthralled, it is an excellent spot for a vacation, combining my interest in water sports with the chance to experience culinary delights. Also, there has never been a dull moment as there is so much to do and experience.
Once again thank you so much for your excellent recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Sam Smith

Thanks for your kind help. Have a nice day!
Thanks for the model answer. I have a question regarding the formality and tone. You used ‘best regards’ at the end which I though was appropriate for writing to your friends(informal). I thought this was a formal letter, so used ‘yours faithfully.’ Is my phrase incorrect?
Thanks.
Either way of closing is fine…it’s really not that big a deal.It’s quite reasonable that the traveller is on friendly
terms with the travel agent.
Okay, well noted. Thanks!
Dear Mike,
Does this task 1 essay look like 6.5 or 7.0?
Question: You missed your friend’s birthday party. Include why you missed it, why you forgot to tell in advance, and what you will to instead to show that your are sorry.
[Dear Karen,
I’m so sorry that I missed your birthday party last week. I heard that it was absolutely stunning.
I know that you are upset because of me, but let me just explain why I couldn’t be there for you. I really had no choice because my son Paul had become very ill two days before your party. I took him to ER and have stayed there for the entire week. He’s still recovering though.
I was supposed to tell you that I can’t make it, but I completely forgot about it. I’m so very sorry. You know how parents can be when their child is sick. I had been worried to death last week.
But now that Paul is getting better, I want to make up for the celebration I missed. I will drop by your home sometime next week. By then, Paul should be fully recovered. Why don’t I take you to that posh restaurant in the corner of your house?
Hope you aren’t mad at me anymore.
Write back,
Henry]
Thanks. Have a nice day!
yes it looks good enough for seven.
a couple of weird things:
1. no one has a restaurant in their house! “posh restaurant in the corner of your house”
2. It’s strange to write something after your name… Unless you include a PS… Just don’t do it; just don’t write anything after your name
Henry
Thanks. Have a nice day!
