Congratulate a friend on a new baby

Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

Your old friend Marcus and his wife have just had their first baby. You live in Regina and they live in Toronto, so you cannot visit right away. You remember how difficult the first few months were when your own children were born.

Write an email to your friend, Marcus in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Congratulate Marcus and his wife.
  • Tell him about a gift you are sending and when it should arrive.
  • Give him some advice for the first few months.
