You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

A family member is coming to stay with you. He/she will be arriving by train in the morning, but you won’t be home until the evening. Write a letter to your relative.

In your letter:

  • explain the arrangements you have made for him/her to get keys
  • tell your relative how to get from the train station to your house
  • say when you will be home and suggest what you could do together that evening

Write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear ………………,


Sample Answer 1:

Dear Samir,

Hope you are doing great. I cannot find fitting words to express how excited I am to hear that you will be visiting me next week. I am very much looking forward to having you and spending some quality time together.

Unfortunately, on 7th June, the day of your arrival, I have an important meeting in my office and I am expected there early in the morning. I wish I could have been at the train station to receive you. However, do not worry, I will keep the keys to my neighbour, George. He lives in the opposite apartment- B2 and will be expecting you at around 9:30 am. Just tell him that you are my cousin Samir and he will hand over you the keys.

From the train station, you can hail a taxi and give him my apartment’s address. He will do the rest as the address is quite familiar to taxi drivers. The rent should be anything between 15 to 20 pounds.

I will be back at 6.30 pm and will take you to dinner at one of my favourite restaurants. Afterwards, we can walk for a few minutes and meet aunt Lucy who lives nearby.

I have so many things to share with you and I plan to do many exciting things together, just like the days in our childhood! Wishing you a safe journey.

Best wishes,

James


Sample Answer 2:

Dear Ivan,

Hope you are doing fine. I am so glad that you are coming to stay with me. But, unfortunately, I will not be able to pick you up from the train station since I will be staying out of the town on that morning for some important work.

You know how the job of a Marketing Director goes. But, please don’t you worry because I have requested my landlady to hand you over the keys to my apartment as soon as you come. Besides, I will be back at my apartment on that same day during the evening time.

And as soon as I arrive, we both will head to an upscale restaurant to eat our dinner. After that, we will go to a nearby lake which looks gorgeous at night.

Anyway, before I end, let me give you the direction to my apartment from the train station. Just take a taxi and ask the driver to take you to “Oaktree village home” and the driver will take you there. It is a popular residential place in the town, and every taxi driver knows it.

Warm wishes,

Lance Jerry
