Band 9: You are planning a weekend get-together at a countryside cottage to celebrate the end of a major project, and you want to invite a neighbor who has recently moved in. Write a letter to your neighbor inviting them to join. In your letter: explain the reason for the celebration and why you want them to come; provide the exact dates, location, and how to get there; describe what activities are planned and what they might need to bring (e.g., outdoor gear, a dish).

Hi Alex,

My name is Yerassul, and I live right next door at number 67. I’m writing to let you know that this weekend, I’ll be celebrating the completion of a major project at my countryside cottage.

Over the past six weeks, I’ve been working hard on my science project, and I’m relieved to say I passed it with distinction. It feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. To mark the occasion, I’ve decided to celebrate in the beautiful countryside with some friends, and I’d love for you to join us and get to know you better.

The celebration will take place from Saturday, March 15th, to Sunday, March 16th, at my cottage, which is located about 15 miles from our neighborhood. To get there, take the main road towards Greenfield, then turn onto Oak Lane and follow the signs for the ‘Millstone Cottage’. I’ll also send you a map and my phone number in a separate message.

We have planned a variety of activities to make the weekend enjoyable: a countryside hike, a bonfire in the evening, and some board games. Since the weather can be unpredictable, please bring warm outdoor gear, comfortable walking shoes, and perhaps a dish or drink to share – we’ll have a potluck dinner on Saturday night.

I would be delighted if you could join us, and I look forward to meeting you. Please let me know if you can make it, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Warm regards,

Yerassul
