Evidence: The tennis tournament

Imagine you are arranging a trip to nearby city for a tennis tournament next
Saturday. You want your best friend to go with you, but, she/he has a very busy
schedule and needs to return by Sunday.

For this evidence, you will need to complete three parts. For the first part (A), you
need to have a look of the information about the tournament. For part B, you have
to plan a schedule for the day and write it down. Finally, for part C, you will write
an email to your friend persuading her/him to come with you.

Let’s begin!

Part A

Have a look of the Colombia International Tennis Open official website. Then,
read the order of play, which is the official schedule for games that has been

Part B

For this part of the evidence, you need to write a schedule for the day in which
you consider the following aspects.

 Commuting: You live in a different city. Consider the transportation means

you will be using for getting to Bogota and register the time you will be arriving.
The same instruction applies for considering your return to your home city /
town.

 Transportation: Consider the time you will be moving from the train station,
bus station, or airport, to the Salitre Tennis Center. The same instruction
applies your return to the place from which you are departing (airport, train
station, etc.).

 Food: Consider the times of the day in which you will be having breakfast,
lunch and dinner. (You can also include some time for snacks in between
games if you wish so).

 Games: Based on the order of play and your personal interests, decide which
games you will be attending and include those in your schedule.

 Accommodation (optional): This applies only if you have considered staying

in Bogota and arriving to you home town or city on early Sunday morning.

Now, write your schedule. One example has been done for you.

Saturday January 10
Time Activity
5:00 a.m. Go to the Nubia airport in Manizales, to buy tickets by
plane to Bogota.
7:00 a.m. Get off the plane, take your suitcases, and then get in a
taxi heading to the tennis tournament.
7:30 a.m. We have breakfast with beans and rice and egg.
9:00 a.m. Prepare all the necessary elements to play the tennis
match, my friend will be in the bleachers watching the
game.
10:00 a.m. I play the tennis match, which possibly lasts between
three and five hours.
2:00 p.m. The game is over and I won the game, now I'm heading
back to the airport with my friend, we got into a taxi in
the direction there.
2:30 p.m. We had lunch before boarding the plane, and we also
bought some food for the trip.
3:00 p.m. We got on the plane in the direction of Manizales.
3:30 p.m. The plane had to deviate to Pereira due to heavy
storms.
4:00 p.m. We eat something at the airport, we also take the
opportunity to review the trip and talk about the game.
4:30 p.m. We arrived home, thank God it was a totally successful
trip.

Part C

For this part of the evidence, you need to write an email to you best friend in
which you describe your plan in detail. Your idea is to persuade and convince
her/him to come and join you. Consider the following:

 You friend needs to be back home by 9:00 a.m., Sunday morning.

 Your friend is not a big fan of tennis, but you are, so, you need to include
interesting details about the players, the games and the tournament.
 Use the schedule to demonstrate how you will have done a lot of activities
during the day. For this purpose, you need to use the future perfect tense; for
example: By 5:00 a.m. we will have left home.

Now, write you email. Be as creative as possible.
