Hi Tina,

The Environment Club of my school plans to raise a fund to save the tigers. Do you think we should
have a bake sale or a funfair – or how about some other events? How do you think we can attract the
public to come? What other activities can we do?

Hope you can help us to decide the event.

Your friend;
Suzie
