My dear Uncle Bob,

(1) How are you and Auntie? I hope that both of you are (2) keeping well. Thank you so much for(3)

your suggestion to visit the Highlands tea plantation. We had such an (4) enjoyable and educational trip.

As we (5) drove up to the plantation resort, through the rows of tea plants, we (6) were awestruckby

the vastness of the plantation land. There were rows and rows of tea plants like (7) a sea of green leaves, as far

as the eye can see!

We (8) stayed at the Highlands Tea Garden Resort for a night. The first thing we did when we arrived

was to (9) take a tourof the plantation on the back of a lorry. We chose to (10) tour by lorry because in the

open vehicle, we could almost touch the (11) tea leaves as it slowly weaved its way between the low tea shrubs

The smell of fresh tea leaves (12) was invigorating!

Then the lorry took us to the tea factory where we (13) learnt about tea drying and the different grades

of tea. (14) At the end of the tour, we had afternoon tea at the caf where there were so many delicious cakes

and pastries, some (15) made from tea. Father gave us a (16) grand treat. We could choose anything we

wanted!

(17) We borrowed bicycles from the resort and we went cycling to the plantation workers settlement

They were very friendly as we passed their houses and they (18) waved warmly at us.

The next morning before we left, we got up very early to watch the workers (19) plucking tea leaves

They worked so (20) fast and hard. Soon they were walking with (21) full loads of tea leaves to the collecting

lorries.

You know, Uncle, this trip has been an (22) eye-opener for me. Whenever I drink tea now, I will always

remember the tea shrubs and the workers who worked so hard at the (23) tea plantation. Thank you once again
