WRITING

Write a letter to a friend about a trip you are going to make. First, read the letter given below.

Jakarta,

7 March 1997

Dear Charles,

I’m writing to tell you about our plans for our journey to the United States. We leave Jakarta the day after tomorrow, but we are not flying direct. Susan said it would be boring just to sit in a Jumbo above the Pacific. We are therefore going to Calcutta by sea and crossing India by train, so that we can see the Himalayas and the Taj Mahal. When we reach Bombay we shall look for a cargo-ship to Dar-es-Salam. We shall be arriving in Nairobi sometime in May. John said at first that he wanted to cross the Sahara on a camel, but he agrees now that this is not very practical. We shall fly to Khartoum and go down the Nile by river-boat to Cairo. Susan’s birthday is on 10 June, and she says she is going to celebrate it in London – but as soon as it is over we shall catch the next plane to New York. We shall be seeing you about 12 June – but you will be getting a few postcards before then.

Best wishes,

Pauline
