There will be a traditional celebration in your country and you want to invite your friend from an English-speaking country. Write him/her a letter and - invite your friend, - explain what happens at the party, - describe the tradition and why it’s important in your country, - say why it is important for your friend to be there

Dear John, I hope you are doing good. I gladly invite you to the festival
that is
going to happen in the first week of next month.
This
celebration is famous with the name Diwali. I remember that once you mentioned that you want to enjoy Indian cultural events.
This
is the best time to arrive, as you already completed your semester and now you have 15 days of study week period. You will not only enjoy
this
but
also
be able to learn more about my culture.
This
festival is celebrated to the remembrance of the victory that lord Rama had on evil Rawan.
On the other hand
, he saved the whole world from the cruelty of Rawan. People blow candles and light the whole house and worship the Lord Rama.
This
is crucial to you because your girlfriend
also
belongs to India. You can give her a surprise by showing more interest in
this
country and its people. I would suggest you to think about
this
proposal. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely, Harpreet.
