The question – a holiday competition letter You won a competition and received a vacation for two as a prize. Write a letter to ask them to go on holiday with you. In the letter, you should: • tell him/her about the competition you won, • state what kind of vacation it is, • explain why you would like him/her to go on holiday with you My model answer Dear Pablo, First para I’ve got some really exciting news to share with you. Guess what? I’ve won a holiday for two people in a competition. I do hope that you can come with me. second para All I had to do to win the competition was write a slogan for a local travel agency. My winning submission was “Fly LTC and see the world”. As I said, my prize is a holiday and it is a cruise around the Mediterranean for a fortnight. The ship is the latest luxury liner and has all sorts ofentertainment facilities including a swimming pool, a cinema complex and onboard tennis courts. It sounds as if it should be great fun. third para I really hope that you are available sometime this summer. I’d love it if you could come with me, as it sounds just your cup of tea and you could always act as an interpreter for me when we get to Spain! closure I need to book the cruise quite soon, so just drop me a line if you are free. All the best Angela You should understand from this question that you need to make the letter informal as you are writing to a friend and that the key vocabulary you need relates to holidays.
