SHORT NOTE 4 (Gift ideas for sister)

    Write a reply to your mother giving to give your idea on what gift to buy for your sister.

 

Hi Dear,            Laura’s birthday is coming soon. Do you have any idea what I should get her as a present? You know her personality better so I need your help. Hope to hear from you soon. Mum

 Suggested answer: 

Hi Mum, 

    Thanks for reminding me about Laura's birthday as I nearly forgot. In my opinion, you should buy her a laptop. I believe it is the best choice because of a few reasons. Firstly, she will be enrolling into college next month. Therefore, a laptop will aid in completing type-written assignments and presentations. Moreover, she will also be able to attend online classes on programs like Google Meet and Zoom with a laptop. Furthermore, there are many affordable laptop brands that don't cost an arm and a leg. Finally, a laptop is portable so she will be able to easily carry it around to libraries, lectures and even on public transport. I hope my suggestion helps you make up your mind. Take care!

Your daughter, 

Lisa
