Sample answer
Hi Francesca,
How are you? I went to a fantastic music festival last weekend.
It was called ‘Le Cool Festival’ and it was near Brussels.
There were different types of music but I really liked the jazz
bands. The best band was a jazz band from New Orleans in
the United States. The music was really happy and everyone
was dancing. There were some famous musicians, but I can’t
remember their names! Lots of other things were happening
too. For example, there were strange inventions that you could
play with and some games for children.
I really enjoyed it because there was always something to do. I
also liked spending the time with my family.
Write soon!
Love Davina
