us I’m writing to share my thoughts with you

About the guest list, I think it would be better to invite only our classmates This way, everyone will feel more connected and comfortable If we invite people from outside, some classmates might feel shy or left out Keeping it within the class helps us celebrate together as a group I hope this is a good choice

For activities, I suggest we include both games and dancing Games like quizzes or team challenges can make people laugh and interact more Dancing is also a great way to enjoymusic and have fun I hope these ideas will make the party more exciting

Regarding the dress code, formal clothes are nice, but not everyone may feel comfortablewearing them I think smart casual would be a better choice—still neat, but more relaxed

I hope this suggestion works for everyone

I hope that I have been able to answer all of your questions If you have any

further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me I am looking forward to

or small group discussions outside the classroom, we are happy to support that

Your friend Jane is helping organize a birthday party for your classmate She has sent

you an email asking for your opinion Read this part of her email below

I’m planning the birthday party and need your advice Should we hire a DJ or a live

music group? Should everyone buy individual gifts or contribute to one big present?

Also, would you be able to help decorate the venue the day before the party?

Write an email to respond to Jane You should write at least 120 words You do not need

to include your name or address Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task

About the music, I think hiring a DJ would be a better choice A DJ can play many differentsongs and change the music depending on the mood of the party It’s also easier to request songsthat people like, and the DJ can keep the energy high throughout the night A live music group isfun too, but it might be more expensive and harder to manage I hope that choosing a DJ willmake the party more exciting and easier to organize

For the gift, I suggest that everyone contributes to one big present This way, we can buysomething more meaningful and useful for our classmate, like a smartwatch or a pair ofheadphones If everyone buys individual gifts, we may buy similar items or things that are notvery valuable I hope that this idea can help you

About decorating the venue, I’d be happy to help the day before the party I enjoy decorating andcan bring some balloons, lights, and posters Just let me know what time to come and whattheme you’re planning I hope that everything will look beautiful and cheerful

Hi Nam,

I hope this email finds you well I have heard about your incident and I am writing this

email to check on you.

Firstly, about your current condition, I need to know how your arm is at the moment.

Has it got any better? I think that you should follow doctor’s treatment for better

recovery It is important to stay positive and adhere to the instructions.

Secondly, regarding my advices I understand how stressful it must be to prepare while

you're in the hospital I suggest that you should study for the final exam during your

time in the hospital because you will have a lot of free time there If you are feeling

bored, I would suggest reading “The song of Ice and Fire” book series It’s an

engaging series that could help distract you from the discomfort and make the time pass

more quickly I love that series and I hope you can feel better reading them.

Please let me know if there’s anything specific you need help with or if you just want to chat I’m here for you, and I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
