A letter about summer holidays
A Dear Peter, Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you. I had a great summer. We went to the seaside for a holiday. We stayed in a small hotel close to the beach and we went swimming every day. It was a lot of fun. Are you having a party for you birthday? Will you have a birthday cake? I would like to get you something. What present would you like?
Well, that’ s all for now. Have a wonderful time on your birthday. Write soon and tell me all about it. Regards, Jack
B Dear Robert, Thanks for your email. I arrived home safely yesterday.
I had a wonderful time at your house and I would like to thank you and your family for your hospitality. You were all so warm and friendly. I loved your mum’ s cooking very much and I really enjoyed playing chess with your dad. Everyone made me feel like a part of the family.
I would love it if you would come and stay with me next month. Do you think you will be able to come? I really hope you can. Let me know as soon as you can so we can make the arrangements. Thanks again and let’ s talk soon. Best wishes, Lee
