TOPIC: You're telling your friend about the family trip you went on recently.

Dear [friend's name],

Hi! What's up? Sorry I haven't put pen to paper in a while but I've been rushed off my feet while on holidays. How was the summer camp? Bet you had a whale of a time!

Guess what? I spent a week in the mountains and had a blast with my family! Basically, we went camping near a lake. You know how mad I am about fishing, right? Fortunately, I caught more fish than I expected. Obviously, we lit a bonfire and grilled them. It was a real feast! Wish you were there!

By the way, you're never going to believe this but I came across the rare endangered [animal] of [your country], [species's name]. Amazing, isn't it? Seeing such an animal up close was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! To my surprise, it just showed up in the middle of the night looking for food. Poor thing! To be honest, we felt sorry for it and left some water and lettuce. The next day they were gone! Long story short, we had a whale of a time exploring nature. Hope next year you can join us!

Well, got to go now, mum's calling me for dinner. Speaking of the devil, she just walked in. Why don't you come over next week? It'd be great to see you!

Love,

[Your name]
