Part B For this part of the evidence, you need to write a schedule for the day in which you consider the following aspects.  Commuting: You live in a different city. Consider the transportation means you will be using for getting to Bogota and register the time you will be arriving. The same instruction applies for considering your return to your home city / town.  Transportation: Consider the time you will be moving from the train station, bus station, or airport, to the Salitre Tennis Center. The same instruction applies your return to the place from which you are departing (airport, train station, etc.).  Food: Consider the times of the day in which you will be having breakfast, lunch and dinner. (You can also include some time for snacks in between games if you wish so).  Games: Based on the order of play and your personal interests, decide which games you will be attending and include those in your schedule.  Accommodation (optional): This applies only if you have considered staying in Bogota and arriving to you home town or city on early Sunday morning. Now, write your schedule. One example has been done for you.

For this part of the evidence, you need to write an email to you best friend in which you describe your plan in detail. Your idea is to persuade and convince her/him to come and join you. Consider the following:  You friend needs to be back home by 9:00 a.m., Sunday morning.  Your friend is not a big fan of tennis, but you are, so, you need to include interesting details about the players, the games and the tournament.  Use the schedule to demonstrate how you will have done a lot of activities during the day. For this purpose, you need to use the future perfect tense; for example: By 5:00 a.m. we will have left home. Now, write you email. Be as creative as possible.
