Write an email (120 words) to the hotel to ask for
Dear Sir/Madam,
My company has booked the Garden Hotel for me for 4 nights. I am writing to ask for information about my room.
I am wondering if my room is double with a large desk. I have to attend a conference at AC Center, so please can you confirm how long it takes to get there from your hotel? I am planning to have breakfast and lunch at the hotel each day. Can you confirm if meals are included in the price? Is it possible to park at either the Garden Hotel or nearby? Do we have a gym and swimming pool in the hotel?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
To Thanh Van, Conference Manager

Write a restaurant/shop/store… review
I usually eat in the Melisa restaurant at least once a week. I last ate there yesterday with my family.
The location of the restaurant is perfect for my home. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is both excellent and diverse.
Yesterday the food didn’t arrive very quickly. Sometimes, the service is slow, especially when I invite my friends here to eat. However, it has never been a big problem.
The Melisa is a lovely restaurant, I highly recommend it.
