Last month you had an overseas holiday with some friends where you stayed at their house. They have just sent you some holiday photos. Write a letter to your friend . In your letter: a. Thank them for the holiday and the photos. b. Explain why you didn't write earlier. c. invite them to come and stay with you.
Hi Loda and Lodi,
I can't explain in words that how happy was I when I received the holiday photos. It refreshed those joyful moments that we spent at your house.
I am full of gratitude for the stay at your house during our trip to Spain. The six days we spent together are full of memories. Sometimes, I still laugh at Loda's karaoke singing sessions. He is always the centre of attraction at every party. Again, thank you for sending us those photos.
Regrettably, I was not able to write a letter to you because I was consumed by household activities once I arrived. As you know, the trip was very long, and a lot of things got piled up. I hope you understand the situation here.
Meanwhile, I want you to come to Canada and spend some days with us. We will go on day trips to nearby national parks.
I can't wait to hear from you.
Your best friend,
Raj
