Now it is time for you to decide what our last activity is going to be like. So, please, post your suggestions…

Unit 5: Writing an email about a holiday

Read this email and write a similar one. Read the PREPARATION instructions.

Hi Fran,

I’m on holiday here in Australia with my mum, dad, brother and sisters. It’s very hot here, so we often swim in the sea.

At the moment, I’m sitting in an Internet café with my brother and we’re drinking mango juice. He really likes it, so we come here every day. In the evenings we play football on the beach.

Tomorrow we’re going to Byron Bay. It’s got lots of surf shops. I hope you’re having a good time.

See you soon,

Greg
