All content is relevant and the target reader is fully informed.

The candidate responds to Chris’s letter and explains where he should go and why: the water park to relax; the cinema 

because it’s a new experience; a club because it’s great. 

The ‘what to do’ aspect is mostly implicit in the description of these places (

different kinds of saunas; you are a big fan of 

horror movies; hang out at and to dance; stop by my house

).

 

Chris would have a list of suggestions and be able to make an 

informed decision about what to do.
