WRITING

5. Read the email below.

Dear (student’s name),

I want to tell you that traveling is a wonderful experience. I have gone to Europe twice this year. In
my first trip in June, I have visited Belgium and The Netherlands. This trip has been for one and a
half week. I have been able to do a Cultural and Delicatessen tour.
I have learned that Belgians have 300 types of beer. They love drinking it with chips and
mayonnaise. And, in the Netherlands, I have learned that The Dutch are fond of herring, which they
call ‘Hollandse Nieuwe’ or 'New Dutch herring'. They eat this raw fish on a bun or as a snack with
some chopped onions and pickles. They enjoy tasting it with red wine. What about you?

Write soon.

Anita.
