Writing
Tips:
In your reply email, you should answer these questions:
What kinds of transport to use: bus, bicycle or taxi?
Do you agree with Mai’s idea that you and she will go there by bicycle?
Do you want to visit Mai’s grandmother with her?



Hi Mai,
Bicycle is a good idea. Cycling is good for our health and it’s a good occasion for us to do exercise. We should check our bicycles carefully before the trip. We also wear coats, hats, gloves, sunglasses and prepare some snacks and bottles of water. I will ride to Hoa’s house firstly and then both of us will get to your house. We and your father will start from your house. I think it will take less than 1 hour from your house to festival.
How about Hoa?
Cheers,
Nam
