Explore writing 1: An email and a leaflet recommending an eco-tour Read Gareth’s email to a friend. Where are he and his family going? What are they interested in? 26 a Hi Ellie, Can I get a bit of advice from you? You used to live in Costa Rica and know a lot about it, and we’re planning to go there for three weeks in October. Dylan will love swimming and windsurfing, of course, but Sandrine and I are more interested in the local culture, nature and wildlife. So, can you give us an idea of some activities and places worth seeing? It would help us a lot with our plans. Thanks!
