Dear Joshua
How are you doing? It is great that you and your parents are planning to come to Singapore. I am writing this email to suggest some places you and your parents can go to.

You mentioned in your letter that your family wants to learn about the culture of Singapore. A place you can go to is Chinatown. Chinatown has many restored shophouses that just looks beautiful. It also has some religious landmarks of different faiths where you can learn many things about Singapore's culture. Another place you can go to is Little India. Little India is undoubtedly one of the most colourful districts in Singapore. You can go to buy souvenirs at the Mustafa Centre in Little India. One of its specialities is the Fish Head Curry; one can say that it is uniquely Singapore.

You also mentioned in your letter that your family would like to see the modern aspects of Singapore.  So, you can go to the Singapore Flyer, the largest observation wheel in the world!  The panoramic photos you can take on the flyer is amazing. Have you ever wanted to be a pilot? You can take and the role of a pilot on the Real Flight Simulator. Another place I recommend going to is the Singapore Zoo. There are hundreds of different animals housed inside the zoo. From Kangeroos to Polar Bears.

Singapore had many different types if delicious foods: Laksa, Mee Siam, Rojak, Prata, Chilli Crab, Oyster, Omelette and much more! Personally, my favourite food is the Hainanese Chicken Rice. The smell of the rice with the delicious chicken is very inviting.

I hope you come to Singapore and explore Singapore's many attractions. Please ask any questions that you might have.

From your cousin,
Emmanuel

Dear Aunt Maggie, Uncle Tom and Timmy

Hello from Singapore! How’s life in New York? It must be pretty exciting! Anyway, I heard that you are planning to visit Singapore, so I hope that you will find my recommendations helpful.

Firstly, since most of the places I will recommend will open at about 10 a.m, I recommend that you enjoy a scrumptious and inexpensive local breakfast at the coffee shops in Chinatown before learning about the cultural aspects of Singapore as you admire the beautifully restored shophouses and colonial buildings of Singapore during the 20th Century.

After that, you could make your way to Little India, where you would be able to admire the beautifully painted shophouses which would sell traditional Indian apparel, gold bagels, spices and other wares.You would be able to do some shopping at Mustafa Centre- which is open 24/7, before tucking into delicious local dishes such as fish head curry.

For the modern aspects of Singapore, you could proceed to the Singapore Flyer, which is the world’s biggest observation wheel, to take in panoramic views of the city. Also, you could try being a pilot using the Real Flight Simulator.You may also want to consider visiting the River Safari, which recently opened a few years ago. You get to see many animals and the best part is that you can take a boat around the river.

I have a few dish recommendations such as Hainanese chicken rice, c

Lastly, for dinner, you should go over to “Food Glorious Food!” Where you will be able to sample many delicious local dishes such as, Laksa, Chilli Crab and Satay.

Well, I hope you come to Singapore and explore our beautiful country, I will be more than willing to help with any questions you have!

With regards,

Elrond Hu

Dear Michael

I am delighted that you and your parents are coming to visit Singapore in two week's time! I wish you were able to stay longer than what you have scheduled. Nonetheless, let's enjoy our time together to the fullest!

I understand that you are interested to learn about both the cultural and modern aspects of Singapore, and to sample a few local dishes. I have planned the best itinerary for your needs. I'm sure you would like it! It's fine if the transport is not convenient enough, my father would also be coming along to drive us around.

Shall I meet you at your hotel at 9 a.m.? We can have some time to catch up after your breakfast as most attractions open around 10 a.m. We will then head for Little India, one of the most colourful districts in Singapore. You can see traditional Indian apparel, gold bangles, spices and other wares as we walk through the streets of gaily painted shophouses. You can also buy souvenirs from the 24-hour shopping centre, Mustafa Centre! Not to mention you need to try out one of Little India's specialities - a uniquely Singaporean dish, Fish Head Curry!

Next, we will be bringing you to Chinatown, where you can visit beautifully restored shophouses, colonial and modern buildings altogether in one place! Also, you can visit religious landmarks of different faiths here. We shall see the colonial aspects of Chinatown before visiting the modern elements. For a taste of the old times, you can take a trishaw ride around the vicinity! Visit the traditional medicine halls, teahouses, and quirky cafes as well! Before we leave to see the modern elements of Chinatown, you can bargain at the lively street market for some souvenirs, fashion apparel, and leather goods!

Now, for the new parts of Chinatown! Some examples of modern buildings include the rebuilt Chinatown Point, OG Building, and People's Park Centre. All three locations are great for shopping, but each of them has their unique qualities. Chinatown Point has more restaurants, for example, Genki Sushi, a unique sushi restaurant; OG Building is a large departmental store with five levels, and People's Park Centre has many electronics shops selling items at affordable prices of which I'm sure you will love.

The last place we will go to is the Singapore Flyer. I left this place for last so you could see the flyer in all its splendour! Before we take the world's biggest observation wheel, I will take you to fly in the Real Flight Simulator - flying planes was always your dream! Once it's dinner time, I will let you sample Laksa and Hainanese Chicken Rice. They are two popular dishes in Singapore!

Lastly, before we end our day, we shall take in panoramic views of Singapore's iconic landmarks - Marina Bay, Merlion Park, and Empress Place together. I hope you find the day interesting before you go on your own touring with your parents.

Well, I hope you find the itinerary appealing to you, Michael. I'm excited to see you!

Your favourite cousin,
Elise

From what I was told, you are interested in both cultural and modern aspects of Singapore and would like to also try a few local dishes. For the cultural aspect, I recommend going to Chinatown and Little India. These two places are filled with many old cultures and different types of the traditional and I am sure you would enjoy them. You can even but and souvenirs at shops to bring bac to New York!

Regarding the modern aspects, I would like to introduce to you and bring you to the Singapore Flyer and Mustafa centre. The Singapore Flyer is the world biggest observation wheel. Being able to take a panoramic view of Singapore's many iconic landmarks, isn't it just wonderful? Mustafa centre is open 24-hour so you can shop there for as long as you liked.

Lastly, I would like to tell you more about the food in Singapore. Singapore is widely known as a food paradise so let me introduce our wide range of food here. As you live in new York, there may be food not available there such as nasi lemak, laksa or mee siam. You may even be interested in trying Singapore's famous chilli crab and Hiananese chicken rice. These foods would not let your taste buds down.

I really hope this plan sounds good to you. Please come and pay me a visit in Singapore soon!
