Dear Luis,
Model Answer 1:
Dear Luis,
Thank you very much for your initiative to organise this fabulous event to celebrate famous food from all corners of the world. Here, I am writing to express my interest in contributing to the upcoming international food event. As a proud Canadian, I would love to prepare a traditional dish from my country — poutine, for everyone to enjoy.
Poutine is a beloved Canadian dish that consists of crispy French fries topped with rich cheese curds and smothered in savoury brown gravy. Originating from Quebec, it has become an iconic comfort food across Canada and is enjoyed by people of all backgrounds. Some variations even include additional toppings such as smoked meat.
I believe poutine would be a great addition to the event because it represents Canadian cuisine’s fusion of simple ingredients with bold flavours. Moreover, its hearty and indulgent nature makes it a crowd-pleaser that I am sure many attendees would love to try.
Please let me know if I can go ahead with this contribution.
Looking forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Emma Johnson

Dear Luis,
I am excited about the upcoming international food event and would like to thank you for organising it. I would love to contribute to this event by preparing a famous dish from China called Peking Duck.
As you might already know, Peking Duck is one of China’s most iconic and celebrated dishes, originating from Beijing. It features crispy, golden-brown roasted duck served with thin pancakes, spring onions, cucumber, and a rich hoisin sauce. The combination of textures and flavours—crispy skin, tender meat, and sweet-savoury sauce—makes it a truly unforgettable dish. Traditionally, it is prepared using a special roasting technique that enhances its flavour and ensures a perfect crunch.
I believe Peking Duck would be an excellent addition to the event because it represents China’s rich culinary heritage and is widely loved around the world. It would provide attendees with an authentic taste of Chinese cuisine and add diversity to the selection of dishes at the event. Please let me know if I can go ahead with this contribution.
Looking forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Chen Hao
