Propose sharing the cost of a new fence

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

The wooden fence between your backyard and your neighbour's yard is old, and part of it blew down during a windstorm last weekend. You have received a quote of $2,400 from a local company to replace the whole fence. You and your neighbour have always been friendly.

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

  • Describe the condition of the fence.
  • Propose how the two of you could share the cost.
  • Ask when it would be convenient for the work to be done.
