BAND 9 MODEL ANSWER
Dear Charles,
It was absolutely wonderful to see you again after so long.You haven’t changed a bit! I recognised
you straightaway, as soon as I spotted you on the platform.
I can honestly say that staying with you and your delightful family has been the highlight of my year
so far. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the lake, watching the sunset and reminiscing about the
good old days over a scrumptious meal was simply fantastic! Your wife is an incredible cook and I
truly wish I was back there now, enjoying one of those mouth-watering steaks she prepared. I will
cherish the memory of my stay for as long as I live.
Now we’re back in touch I would love you to come over to Wales so you could get to know my
family. As I mentioned, we live in a quaint cottage in a sleepy little village just a stone's throw from
the mountains.There are breath-taking views! We know your wife isn’t keen on travelling but we
hope you can persuade her to join you. Would early summer be convenient for you? My wife can’t
wait to meet you after all I’ve been telling her.
Anyway, please write back and let us know when you would be able to come.
With warmest wishes
