my best friend, who plays an important role in my life, and I can’t wait to see you. Anyway, I’d like to invite you to stay with me once you are home. I’m living in a spacious flat with two big bedrooms and a lovely balcony in the city centre. There are some benefits for both of us. As you know, recently the rate of rents has increased extremely, so by living together we can decrease our expenses. Above that, we’ll have lots of fun hanging out together , and we won’t be alone anymore. I look forward to hearing your response to my offer. All the best, Tina
