 Reading Passage M odule 4

Dear Patrick,

We've decided to stay in a self-catering cottage and we've found a nice one in the Lake District, in
Cumbrian countryside. It's less than two hours' drive from Manchester and just one mile from
Coniston. Coniston is a small village in the heart of the Lake District. The village offers shops, cafés
and pubs, so we can go for a drink in the evening.
It is a perfect place for walking and climbing and activities for all the family. I think it is an ideal
place for the children. The cottage is only ten minutes' walk from a lake and we can hire a boat and
go fishing. I know you lo ve going fishing so you can get some físh for us!
The cottage has all mod. cons., microwave oven, fridge, electric cooker, water heater, electric oven
and dishwasher. There is also a barbecue and a big garden área with garden furniture where we can
relax and enjoy the view from the lake and the mountain. We can even eat outside (weather
permitting!).
Now, the cost. It's a bit more expensive than last year's place - £550 for the week. There's room for
eight people, so if your sister also joins us it would be cheaper. Give me a ring and we'll discuss
details. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Love,
Gilí
