Polite Requests


Hi Penfriend!

How’s it going?  I’m really looking forward to my trip to England.  Here are some more details about my plan.

I want to stay for six months.  I really want to do some volunteer work for about two months.  After that, I’d like to work somewhere for three months and earn a little money.  During the last month of my stay, I want to travel around the UK.

I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sending a list of charities who are looking for volunteers.  I’m interested in working with children.  I know it’s a lot to ask but could you also check the local paper to see which companies need part-time staff.  I also might need your help writing a CV in English, if you wouldn’t mind.  If I could trouble you for one more favor, please send me some travel brochures about the city of Manchester.

Do you still like single-malt scotch?  I’ve got a really nice bottle with your name on it.

My grandmother is making some really special kimchi for you!

When I come to your town I’ll take you to the best restaurant.

I’ll teach your children Korean!

Thanks so much,

Your penfriend.
