Read the following short letter of invitation to do the following activities.

Dear Ann ,

I am writing to invite you to my birthday party that we will celebrate at my grandmother’s house on
Saturday, December 18th . The party will start at 2 p.m. and ends in the evening around 7 p.m. To remind
you, my grandmother’s house is located in the center of the town at Stratford Street. It is on the third floor.

Please come if you are free. You will enjoy yourself and meet our old friends whom we studied with in
2016. So, let’s meet all again in December.

By the way, I am enclosing a photograph we took together in summer on your graduation day.

Best wishes,
Maya
