Last month had a holiday overseas where you stayed with some friends they have just sent you some photos of your holiday.Write a letter to your friend. In you letter thank then for the photos as a holiday, explain why you didn't write earlier, invite them to come and stay with you.

Dear Aileen How have you been? I'm writing to you to say thank you for the holiday and the photos you sent to me. I'm very happy to see these pictures of us. I'm sorry for not writing a letter to you because after I come back here to my house I'm a bit busy in my thesis paper. I spend my times revising the documents that I need to submit to my professor before the deadline. One day after checking my documents I prepare myself for the defence of my thesis. Days come fast and I’m very nervous that day, I’m afraid that the panellist will give a hard question to me and my surprise I answer them correctly and I got a high score. This coming week I want you to visit me here at my house. I’m free and we can spend time together. We had an available room for you to stay. Again thank you for the holidays and photos. I hope you can come and visit me. Your friend Judith
