Last month you had a holiday abroad where you stayed with some friends. They have just sent you some photos of your holiday. Write a letter to your friends. In your letter: thank them for the photos and for the holiday explain why you didn’t write earlier invite them to come and stay with you.
Dear Jennie,
I am sorry that I didn't write to you after my return. I was busy with some problems and I couldn't contact you.
Thanks for sending the holiday photos. I love all the photos
especially
the ones we took near Niagara Falls. I missed all those beautiful days and the amazing holiday I had with you, looking at the photos.
I should have written to you sooner, but my laptop was broken. I had changed my mobile phone before I travelled to London so I didn't have access to any information including my email.
I wanted to thank you again and invite you to my house for the next holidays. We can spend a couple of days in the city and Add the comma(s)
, especially
then
we can explore the beautiful suburban areas in Vancouver. I'm sure it's going to be an exciting holiday.
Let me know if you can travel here in the coming holidays,
Regards,
