Dear Ivan,

Thanks for your letter. Sorry to reply late.

Guess what! I’m going to sing and play the guitar at a Fifteen birthday party in Tula. The party
is on December 15th. I’m practicing the songs. After the party, my parents are going to take
me for dinner to my favorite pizza restaurant. I’m going to invite Jenny from class 2. I hope she
can come.

Anyway, That’s all for now. Write soon!

Love, Emma

P.S. Why don’t you come and cheer me on the day of the party. Or If you like we could meet
you at the restaurant later.
