You are studying English at a private language school attended by many international students. You are planning a surprise birthday party for a friend who has been feeling particularly sad and homesick. Write to another classmate and invite him/her to the party. In your letter: Explain the reason for the party, give the date and time of the party, suggest what the classmate could bring to the party.

Dear Rishi, I have some exciting news to share! I’m planning a
party
for our friend and I’d like to invite you to join and make it more fun. One of our
peer
Suggestion
peers
, Karthik’s birthday is on the coming weekend and I came to know that it is his
first
birthday away from his family. So I decided to celebrate his important day by organizing a surprise
party
in our dorms. I’m sure he would really relish the day,
although
he misses his dear ones. The
party
is on 21st March which is Friday and starts at 11:00pm, just an hour before his birthday. Everything will be arranged on the rooftop on the B-block. The arrangements will begin from 7pm after our classes. So, if you want to join, you’re more than welcome. If you are interested to bring something to the
party
, please get few decorative items since I already took care of the refreshments. Anything that lights up the
party
and you believe will be useful will really help us making
this
celebration more joyful. If you have any suggestions, do let me know. See you at the
party
! Cheers, Vijaya
