E. COMPOSITION (15)

Write a descriptive letter to your friend telling them about your Easter holiday. In your letter you
might want to include these points:

i. The place you spent your Easter holiday

ii. The activities you engaged in

iii. The people involved

Dear Anryl
Hope this letter finds you well. I just had to share my wonderful Easter experience with you. I spent the
holiday at my grandparents' cozy lake house, surrounded by lush greenery and serene water views. It
was the perfect setting for a relaxing and rejuvenating break. Our Easter celebration was a joyous family
affair! My siblings, cousins, and I participated in a thrilling Easter egg hunt, racing around the garden to
find hidden treats. The excitement palpable as we discovered each carefully concealed egg. Later, we
gathered around the dinner table to savor a delectable feast prepared by my grandmother, featuring
traditional dishes and sweet treats.
The highlight of the trip was a scenic boat ride on the lake, where we spotted swans and ducks
swimming gracefully alongside us. We even had a friendly fish swim up to the boat, adding to the magic
of the moment! The best part, though, was spending quality time with loved ones. We shared stories,
laughed together, and created memories that will be cherished for a long time. My grandparents ‘warmth
and hospitality made the experience even more special. I hope your Easter was just as wonderful! I’d
love to hear about your celebrations and catch
up.

Warm regards
Sheryl
