[DW] Informal Letter: Making a Choice (Hotel vs Homestay)

Hello, how are you? Today we’re going to look at a DW question, an Informal Letter. Is it everyone’s favourite DW format, I wonder? I’ve had many students tell me it’s the easiest one to write. Good for you 😉

Disclaimer: The original question is from 2018 trial paper (Penang).

Question:
Your family is planning to go for a holiday at the end of the year. Your brother/ sister has asked you to choose either to stay in a hotel or a homestay. He/she has given you some information about the two places. Write a letter to your brother/sister stating your choice.

In your letter, you should:

  • Describe all the details of the two places
  • State which place you think is more suitable

HOMESTAY
