2. You would like to invite a foreign friend to visit you for your birthday. Write a letter inviting your friend.

Dear John, I hope you and your family are doing well. You didn’t write to me in ages. I remember in the last letter you had mentioned that your family had been on holiday. I hope that was a wonderful time for you. I’m writing to tell you that next weekend is a special time for me. We are throwing a big party for family and close friends on the occasion of my twentieth birthday. You should definitely come! This birthday is will be a little more special than the previous ones because the party will last about a week and will include many outdoor activities. You are one of my closest friends and my birthday would be perfect without you. I would never forget how you assisted me in overcoming language and communication barriers after I arrived in your country. If without your help, I wouldn’t have been able to integrate into the foreign community. By the way, I also set up to take you to a few significant destinations in my country after my birthday. So would you like to pack a big case and stay at my home for a few days? Hope to see you soon. Yours, Thuc Hien
