From: mai@fastmail.com
Subject: Going to the festival

Hi there!
I think we should go to the festival by bicycle. It`s only 10 kilometres away. My father`s going to cycle there with us. Do you remember last month we cycled to Phong`s house? It`s about six kilometres. Also, on the way back from the festival, we can visit my grandmother. She lives near there.
Reply soon and let me know your opinion. How do you want to travel there?
Cheers,
Mai

Ex6.  Read the e - mail from one of your friends, Mai, and write a reply. 

Hi Mai,
Bicycle is a good idea. Cycling is good for our health and it’s a good occasion for us to do exercise. We should check our bicycles carefully before the trip. We also wear coats, hats, gloves, sunglasses and prepare some snacks and bottles of water. I will ride to Hoa’s house firstly and then both of us will get to your house. We and your father will start from your house. I think it will take less than 1 hour from your house to festival.
How about Hoa?
Cheers,
Nam
