Photo J. Maurer

You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend Harry who writes:

... I have to catch two buses to get to school. I don't mind, though, because the buses usually run on time and they aren't too crowded. How do you get to school? Do you find the journey tiring? What's public transport like in your area?

Our school just had its first-ever "Environment Day"....

Write a letter to Harry. In your letter

• answer his questions
• ask three questions about the "Environment Day" event at his school

Write 100-140 words. Remember the rules of letter-writing. Please bring your letter to your class next week (February 6 or 8).
