Your friend is going on a school trip to another country and has never been away from home before. You went on the same school trip last year. Write an email to your friend about the school trip.

In your email, you should:
- tell your friend about the place you visited
- give some advice about what to take
- say what you enjoyed about being away from home.

Please I would really appreciate it if you gave a good answer, I really need it. Thanking you in advance.

Dear Nita,

I am so excited that you are part of the team going to United States of America this year. Last year, I was among the team that went for this same trip. It was an experience of a lifetime. We were opportune to visit the Statue of Liberty in New York City. It's truly a historic edifice. I learnt a lot from the history of the Statue of Liberty.

Since your trip falls during the winter season, I will advice you to take along with you sweater, jeans, gloves, hoods and socks. These will help you withstand the cold that will be experienced during winter. The winter season is usually a cold season.

During my trip last year, the two months I spent in U.S, was a impactful. I was able to engage with other young people from all over the world. We learnt about each other's cultural heritage and norms.

I wish you safe trip on your trip to the U.S. Please, make sure you truly enjoy yourself.

Your bestie,

Charles.

Explanation:

Above is the email written to my friend who is about to go for a school trip. This is an informal email. An informal email is one that is written to family, friends or relatives. It doesn't have any particular rule for writing like the formal. One can use any language of his or choice.

author – information on the internet with a listed author is one indication of a credible site. the fact that the author is willing to stand behind the information presented (and in some cases, include his or her contact information) is a good indication that the information is reliable.

date – the date of any research information is important, including information found on the internet. by including a date, the website allows readers to make decisions about whether that information is recent enough for their purposes.

sources – credible websites, like books and scholarly articles, should cite the source of the information presented.

domain – some domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual. however, the domain .edu is reserved for colleges and universities, while .gov denotes a government website. these two are usually credible sources for information (though occasionally a university will assign a .edu address to each of its students for personal use, in which case use caution when citing). be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an agenda of persuasion rather than education.

site design – this can be very subjective, but a well-designed site can be an indication of more reliable information. good design make information more easily accessible.

writing style – poor spelling and grammar are an indication that the site may not be credible. in an effort to make the information presented easy to understand, credible sites watch writing style closely.
