Dear friend,

Do you know next Thursday will be a day of eager anticipation to me? It is then the day before my fourteenth birthday. I have been looking forward to the party for at least two months. Everything is supposed to be perfect for that day: balloons, candles and tasty dishes, and music. There will be a barbeque of magnificent proportions. Miraculously, an enormous ice cream cake will be delivered with eight large pepperoni pizzas. Needless to say, I am excited. It is to be my first party at our new house.

I'm looking forward to seeing you come, that'll bring more life to this special event of mine.

Best wishes,

Thuy Trang

Dear John,

How are you? I hope you are doing well at university these days. You haven't written to me about your examinations but I believe that you passed your exam easy.

Anyway, on December 17th 2017 will be my birthday. To celebrate my 35th birthday, I am going to hold a warm dinner at Manh Hoach restaurant near Luc Quan crossroad, Co Dong, Son Tay, Ha Noi at 6.00 in the evening of the 2nd next Sunday. I am going to invite all of my friends. I will be very eager to meet you in there

The dinner will start at 6 o clock, but you can come more earlier and we can go fishing at the lake. Bring your wife along with you too. Don't be late.

I hope you would accept my invitation.

Your sincerely,

Ly
