Dear David,

How are you? I hope you are enjoying the year-end holidays!

As for me, I will be going to Malacca from 3 December to 9 December and will be back in Singapore for the rest of the month. This trip to Malacca will be an entirely new experience and I really wish to fully engage myself in the activities planned. This vacation will be an excellent chance for me to relax and escape from the stress of school.

I will be travelling to Malacca by train and I am very excited as this will be the first time I am taking a train! I am looking forward to this trip as various activities have been planned for me. My friends who have been to the famous Water World Park were full of praises for the amazing displays, and I absolutely cannot wait to explore the park! Also, I look forward to taking a river cruise around the Straits of Malacca with my uncle, aunt and cousins! My friends have told me that the scenery around the Straits of Malacca is astoundingly beautiful. On 9 December, I will be returning home.

For the remaining three Saturdays of December, I have made arrangements to play computer games at my best friend’s house. I have also agreed to help my mother clean the storeroom as it is very disorganised. During my free time, I plan to arrange my collection of phone cards and sort them into an album. My best friend Tom is going to host the Christmas Party for this year, and I have agreed to help out with the decorations. New Year’s Eve will probably be a quiet dinner with my family.

Well, that summarises some of the activities planned for my December holidays. What about your plans for the holidays? Will your family be going on a vacation overseas? If so, I want to hear all about it! I look forward to receiving your reply!

Yours truly,

Farhan
