Dear jessica, How are things? I'm sorry that I haven't sent you an email but I've been really busy lately For the last two days, I have been organizing a surprise party for my best friend, Sally. I have been decorated the house with baloons and coloured lights. I still have so many things to do but luckily, Sophie and Pat have been helping with the preparations. So far, Sophie has invited all our friends and Pat has bought Sally's present but we haven't ordered a cake or bought any snacks and soft drinks yet. Anyway, we've got plenty of time till Saturday. I'm sure everything will be fine What have you been doing lately? Have you decided if you'l visit us? I hope you can come during the summer holidays . I do miss you
