TEXT A
Hi
It's my birthday soon. I'd like to invite all my friends from colege to my
house. I don't want any presents. We can have some food. I don't want
any meat – I know a lot of students are vegetarians. We can listen to
English music and just talk. We can have the party in my garden.
Can you help me? Do you know a good pizza takeaway? I'd like to get
some food to bring home. I can cook very well but I just haven't got time
now. My kids love pizza too.
Let me know.
