destination.

• the length of time

• the cost

Dear Dad,

I’ve looked at several possible places

where we can go on holiday and

checked Mum’s schedule. We think

we should go to Shandong Province

because none of us have ever been

there before.

Possible example

If we go, we’ll have an active holiday

climbing Mount Tai. Mum can

explore famous lakes and springs in

Ji’nan. We can also visit Qufu,

where Confucius was buried. I think

you and Mum would like this.

We can travel in May, between

the 1st and the 7th. The trip lasts

4 days and 3 nights. It costs only

1,300 yuan per person, so Mum

will be pleased with that.

I think this trip sounds very

exciting and it sounds just like

what you and Mum want. Let

me know if I should book it.

Bye for now.

Love

(name)
