Part Three
You are staying in Antigua, Guatemala. A friend from Mexico has written to you to tell
you that she would like to visit you for a few days in Antigua. Read your friend’s letter
carefully and find the answers to her questions by reading the advertisement below.
Then write a reply to your friend. Write about 150 words.
Hi!
I am thinking of coming down to see you in Antigua! Won’t that be wonderful? But I
only have about 5 days, and would really like to do as much as possible. You know
that I like outdoor activities and exercise - and a little culture, but not too much!
Will there be things that we can do together - during the day and in the evening? Is
Antigua very expensive? Will it cost a lot to do any special tours and activities? And,
if we want to do a tour away from Antigua for one day, is there anywhere we can go,
by car or by bus?
Lots of questions, I’m afraid. Do write and let me know your suggestions. And see you
soon!
