Dear Jane
A Hi! How are you? I’m planning a surprise party for my sister Annie’s sixteenth birthday next Saturday at our house. I’d really love it if you could come!
B I’m really excited about the party. I’m thinking of having Mexican food, which is Annie’s favourite, and I’ve decided to try to make her a birthday cake, too. My brother has offered to organise the music—I think he’ll be quite a good DJ!
C I’ve already asked Annie’s best friend to take her out in the afternoon. When she brings her back home at about half past seven, all the guests will be there waiting to surprise her! It would be great if you could come round to our house a bit earlier to help me put up the decorations.
D I really hope you can make it! Let me know as soon as you can. If you like, you can stay at our house overnight.
Love, Emily

A Well, thanks again for the invitation, I can’t wait to see Annie’s face when she sees everyone!
B It was great to hear from you! I’m fine, thanks, but quite busy. Your sister’s surprise party sounds really exciting. Thanks for inviting me!
C I can definitely come early to help you with the decorations. How about five o’clock? I’ve got some lovely candles that would look great at the party, so I’ll bring those. Also, I’d love to stay overnight at your house. It will be fun!
D Of course I’d love to come. I wouldn’t miss it for the world! It’s a great idea to have Mexican food—that’s my favourite, too. Would your brother like me to bring any of my CDs? I’ve got some fantastic ones!
Love, Jane

Dear Jenny,
Hi! Thanks for your letter. I’ve been to a wildlife park once, and I think it would be a great place for your birthday. I’d love to come to your party on 6th March if I can.
As for the town carnival, it sounds exciting. What time does it start? Are you going with your family or friends? Will there be any concerts or parades?
At the moment I’m not sure about my plans for that day, but I hope I can make it.
Best wishes,
Alex
