c) Choose one topic and write a letter of invitation.

Before you write a letter , here are some examples for you…

Dear Nick

How are you? I finished my exams last week, so I’m very happy.

Do you fancy doing a two- day

caving course with me on the first weekend of June? The course is at Marston Caves, and Dad said he

would drive us there We can stay at the campsite The instructors are well qualified, so you can tell your parents that we’d be very safe! The course costs $40 per person, but that

includes all the equipment , etc

Anyway, my parents will pay for us both because it’s my birthday!

I reckon it will be a lot of fun! Really hope you can come!

Rory

Dear Haley

How are you? I saw your sister last week and she said that you’d just done your dancing exam Did you pass?

What are you doing in the second week of August? Do you fancy coming on a week’s holiday with me and my family? We’re staying in a house in Tarifa which is on the south coast

of Spain Tarifa’s really famous for surfing, but there are a lot

of other adventure activities you can do there too, like diving, horse- riding and climbing The house is only five minutes

from the sea so I reckon it will be fantastic! We’d pick you up

on Saturday 6th August and then drop you home again on Friday 12th August.

I’ve been looking up Tarifa on the internet and it looks like a great place I think we’d have a lot of fun!

Bye!

Katie

P.S: Can you let me know as soon as possible?

And now write

your own letter

with one of these topics.

1 You are the secretary of your school’ s Youth League.
