You should study the information on page 2 carefully and plan your answer before beginning to write.

You have received a letter from your Uncle Sam, who lived in England. He wants to give you a present to help with your further education after ‘O’ level. He asked you to choose one of the items shown on the web page, all of which can be easily carried with you and will provide internet access for you.

Write your letter to your uncle to:

thank him for his offer
state clearly which gift you have chosen
say how you will make use of it
explain why it is the most useful of the three items for your education

Write your letter in clear, accurate English and in a warm, friendly tone, showing appreciation of your uncle’s kindness and of his interest in your future education.
