INSTRUCTIONS: READ THE LETTER AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS (UNDERLINE THE CORRECT ANSWER)
Dear Carla,
I am writing to you because of the letter I received last week, asking me whether it was advisable to
go to the mountains or to the beach this summer. As a matter of fact, I prefer the mountains, but I
know it can be a little bit exhausting, particularly if few people go along with you. I suggest you go to
the beach. Remember to use lots of sunscreen if you dont want to get sunburnt. Also, be sure to
follow all the directions by the lifeguards, particularly if there is bad weather when you go. If you go,
dont forget to bring me a postcard. However, remember this is only a piece of advice and youre
under no obligation to follow it.
Hope youre OK.
