My dear friend,

Hope you are great. Yesterday, I bought all the tickets for my trip to Colombia next month.
I’m attaching a copy of them for you to have a look. I know you made this trip last year, is
there anything important to consider?

What can I do when I arrive to Bogotá?

I will be looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Lots of love,

Sakie. ☺

Objective: To write a reply to Sakie e-mail message.

Plan:

1. Johana thanks Sakie for her message.

2. Johana tells Sakie she has to arrive to Yokohama train station one
hour before the train departures.
3. Johana tells Sakie that after the train arrives in Tokyo, she needs to
take a bus from the train station to Narita International airport.
4. Johana recommends having the passport and boarding pass on hand
before the check in.
5. Johana tells Sakie that the flight to Los Angeles takes very long.
Considering the arrival time, Johana thinks it is better to spend the
night at the hotel airport.
6. Johanna tells Sakie she can wake up early and do some shopping at
the duty free section of Los Angeles airport. (The duty free is at
Terminal 2).
7. Johana tells Sakie that the boarding gate to Bogota’s flight is at
Terminal 5. Thus, Sakie needs to take a shuttle from Terminal 2 to
Terminal 5. The shuttle takes 15 minutes. Johana also tells Sakie that
she can walk, if she prefers so. The walk from Terminal 2 to Terminal 5
takes about 35 minutes.
8. Johana tells Sakie she can’t spend too much time walking around
because she can miss her flight.
9. Johana tells Sakie that she is working in the afternoons now. So, on
September 23rd she can’t go to El Dorado airport. Johana tells Sakie
that after she arrives in Bogota, she has to go pass by the immigration
checkpoints.
10. Johana tells Sakie that after passing immigration she can go to the
baggage claim section and pick up her luggage.
11. Johana tells Sakie that there are taxi points at El Dorado Airport where
she can ask for a safe Taxi.
12. Johana tells Sakie to get a taxi and ask the driver to take her to the
downtown, where Johana lives.
13. Johana says goodbye.

Check: Read the e-mail again and check for mistakes (grammar, spelling,
punctuation, etc.).
 4. Now, write the e-mail to complete the evidence. You have to give Sakie clear
instructions by following the writing plan and using at least five (5)
prepositions of movement in the appropriate contexts. Keep in mind all the
different means of transportation Sakie will be using and the places she will
go through. / Ahora, escriba el e-mail para completar la evidencia. Usted

DEAR SAKI.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MESSAGE.
I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.
-FIRST YOU HAVE TO ARRIVE ONE HOUR BEFORE THE TRAIN
DEPARTURE TIME,
-After LEAVING THE TRAIN,
-TAKE A BUS TO NARITA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THE TRIP TO THE
AIRPORT IS VERY LONG, YOU CAN TAKE SOMETHING TO LISTEN TO
MUSIC,
-I RECOMMEND YOU BRING YOUR PASSPORT IN YOUR HAND TO THE
AIRPORT.

-THE TRIP FROM YOKOHAMA TO LOS ANGELES IS VERY LONG AND

BORING BECAUSE IT IS THROUGH THE WORLD, IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO
TRAVEL AT NIGHT. -ALSO IF YOU TRAVEL AT NIGHT YOU ARRIVE IN LOS
ANGELES IN THE MORNING. IN THE MORNING YOU CAN SEE AS THE
PLANE FLIES OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES.
-You CAN ALSO BUY IN THE NEWSPAPER SECTION, THE NEWSPAPER IS
IN TERMINAL 2.

THE DOOR TO BOGOTÁ IS AT TERMINAL 5, YOU CAN GO BY BUS OR

WALKING. YOU MUST BE CONCENTRATED NOT TO TAKE THE WRONG
DOOR.
THE SIGN ABOVE THE DOOR READS “TERMINAL 5”.
IF YOU TRAVEL BY BUS, SUIT THE BUS THE ROUTE TAKES 15 MINUTES
AND ON A WALK TAKES 35 MINUTES.
YOU CAN WALK, IF YOU PREFER. WALKING THROUGH TERMINAL 2 TO
TERMINAL 5 IS 35 MINUTES, BECAUSE IT IS VERY RELAXING AND
INTERESTING,

YOU WILL ARRIVE IN THE AFTERNOON. NOW I'M WORKING IN THE

AFTERNOON, I LOVE WORKING DURING THE AFTERNOON, SO I CAN'T
GO TO RECEIVE YOU, THE AIRPORT IS VERY FAR FROM MY OFFICE,
WHEN YOU ARE AT THE AIRPORT YOU HAVE TO PASS THE
IMMIGRATION SECTION AND GO TO THE IMMIGRATION SECTION. ,
REQUEST A SAFE TAXI AT THE SPECIAL POINTS AND NEAR THE
AIRPORT.

THEN GET IN THE TAXI. IN THE TAXI YOU CAN TELL THE DRIVER TO
DRIVE TOWARDS THE CITY CENTER.
YOU CAN GIVE THE DIRECTION TO THE DRIVER AND THE TAXI WILL
TAKE YOU TO MY HOUSE. NOW IN MY HOUSE THERE ARE MANY TREES
PLANTED ALONG THE STREET. THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL PALM TREES
ALONG THE AVENUE. I LIVE NEARBY, I WAIT FOR YOU. WE CAN TALK
