Subject: Best place to visit

Hi, Rina. G I C
How are you? I am happy to hear that you and your family
are going to visit Kuala Lumpur this weekend. In my opinion,
Aquaria KLCC is the best place to hang out with your family
because you can see and learn about many types of sea
creatures there. You and your family can also feed the sea
creatures. There’s also a touch pool where you can gently
touch starfish, bamboo shark and other sea creatures.

I hope my suggestion has been helpful. H

Goodbye!

Message
Hello, Faris. G
How’s it going? I C
I think you should consider taking up swimming as your
new hobby because swimming is a fun activity. Who doesn’t
like splashing about in the water? It is also a low-impact
activity which will not be a strain to your joints. Besides,
swimming will help you build your muscles and reduce your
stress.

I hope you make the right decision. H

See you soon!

How are you? I’m writing this email to

I help you decide on what electronic
gadget you should get for your birthday.

of size, it is bigger than mobile phone so
it is definitely more convenient to use for
your schoolwork.

I hope this helps you decide which one to
