WRITING
Dear Ted,
It was great to hear from you.
I was happy to hear that you have decided to do something about the forest that got
burnt last summer. Some things are definitely worth spending time and effort on.
I’m really looking forward to it.
All the best,
Rami
B. You have received an e-mail from an English-speaking friend of yours asking you for advice. Write a reply to your
friend using all your notes. Part of the letter has already been written for you.
Dear Rami,
I haven’t heard from you for ages so I’ve decided to drop you a line to see how you’re doing.
Actually, I’m also writing because I need your advice about something I’m organising.
Do you remember me telling you about that huge forest fire that took place last summer? Well,
it turned out to be an environmental disaster because acres and acres of trees were burnt down. My
friends and I decided to get the locals involved in planting trees. The city council’s decided to support
our effort and is providing us with funding to get started. Unfortunately, this funding is not
enough so we’re planning on organising a fund-raising event. Do you have any ideas as to what
kind of fund-raising event we could host?
I was also wondering if you would like to come to the first planting event, which is taking place
next week. I’d love to have you over for the weekend.
Write back soon.
Take care,
Ted
