Dear Sarah,
I’ve got some great news. Richard and I are going on holiday for a whole month. Guess where – Hawaii!
We’re leaving on 1st June. We both love swimming, so we’re going to stay at a fabulous hotel right next to the beach. I’m going to relax as much as possible because I’m quite tired after working hard all this year.
We’re coming back from our holidays on 30th June, and I’ve got lots of plans for the rest of the summer. First, I’m going to work at a café because I want to earn some extra money and buy a new car. I’m also going to join a gym to lose some weight. Finally, I want to find a better job in autumn, so I’m going to start a computer course.
Oh, I nearly forgot! On 16th August we’re having a garden party to celebrate Richard’s birthday. Please try to come. You’re welcome to spend the night here. Well, that’s all for now. Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Jenny

Dear Emily,
I’m writing to invite you to my birthday celebration on Friday, 15 June. It’s going to be an all-day affair, so you should be here by eleven o’clock in the morning.
Since it’s my sixteenth birthday, my parents want it to be a very special day, so this is what we’re going to do. First, we’re going to take everyone to the stables and hire horses. Then we’re going to ride to Elmington Estate and have a picnic there. When we get back, there will be games and refreshments in the garden, and in the evening there’ll be supper and dancing. I just hope the weather is fine!
Let me know if you can come, and tell me your news as well. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Lots of love.
Karen.
