PSLE Grade A1 Situational Writing Model Answer

Subject: Join Me at Straits Secondary School Open House

Dear Ben,

I hope you are well. I would like to invite you to attend the Straits Secondary School Open House with me on 16 November 2024 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

I am approaching you because we are both facing the same dilemma of choosing a suitable secondary school. I think attending the event together will help us make a more informed decision.

At the Open House, we can attend the talks on the subjects offered and take part in the interaction sessions with student leaders to learn more about the school's CCAs. We can also hear about students' personal experiences in the school.

If we are interested in the guided school tour, we should register early because registration closes on 2 November 2024 and places are limited to the first 60 students.

I hope you can join me.

Yours sincerely,
Danny
