1. TASK 2: How often do you travel?

• I used to travel two or three times a year, but I haven't scheduled any excursions since the COVID outbreak broke out two years ago.

2. TASK 3:

• A: what do you want to know about living in the UK?
  • Because this is my first trip to the United Kingdom, I'm curious as to what local specialties I should sample and whether I should be concerned about any unexpected costs.
• B: How many people are there in your family? What do you like doing together?
  • My parents, older brother, and I make up my family of four. We enjoy spending time together when traveling. We'd want to have a beach BBQ and, if there are any nearby forests, go hiking.
• C: What does a house that meets your requirements look like?
  • Because we all enjoy spending time in nature, a house that fulfills our needs should have a huge garden with many trees and flowers. Furthermore, because we always cook alone, it should be properly equipped with appliances.

3. TASK 4: You've just signed up on a website for house-hunting, which is www.findahouse.co.uk to look for a suitable house in the UK when you travel here. You have found a suitable house. Now you need to write 2 emails: one for your friend and another for the homeowner.

• Question 1:Write an email to your friend to tell your friend about the house that you've chosen.

  • Dear Mia,

    How have you been? Do you remember I told you that I was looking for a house in the UK? So, I think I've discovered the right one for our family. It not only has a gorgeous <~beautiful/ wonderful> garden with many sunflowers and a treehouse but it is also designed <~decorated> in a boho fashion. It's exactly the house I've envisioned <~imagined> (hình dung) since I was a kid. Have you made any plans for the upcoming Christmas season?

    Drop me a line soon.

    Love,

    Caramel

• Question 2: Write an email to the homeowner of the house you're about to buy/rent and ask him some of the questions or concerns related to the house.

  • Dear Mr.Geller, My name is Caramel and I am the one who called you two days ago asking to buy your house. However, I still have some questions related to the house that I would like to ask you. First and foremost, I'd like to know whether there are any vital service facilities nearby, such as hospitals, food delivery, or grocery stores, because traveling in the UK is rather expensive, and having those services available is one of our key worries.

    Furthermore, I was curious about the taxes associated with purchasing a home because it is likely to be a substantial purchase for which I will need to account. I look forward to receiving your response and clarification soon.

    Best regards, Caramel
