Hi Marta,

How are you? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? The last time must have been Marco’s birthday. Anyway, I’m getting in touch with you because I just wanted to say a huge thank you for inviting me to spend my next holiday with you.

Unfortunately there won’t be any real holiday for me actually. I’m working hard for a university project. I have to create an object that helps people, especially elderly, to unscrew plastic bottles. The deadline is on 28th August, so in these months I’ll be focusing just on it.

As a result you must be truly sorry for me, but you know what? Right now I’m the happiest person on Earth, not just because I’m thoroughly enjoying what I’m working at, but also because this is my last exam! If everything goes as planned, I’ll be graduated by the end of September.

I hope we’ll have the opportunity to hang out before my degree, but if we shouldn’t, you are of course invited to my graduation party.

Lots of love,

Alice
