Last month you had a holiday overseas where you stayed with some friends. They have just sent you some photos of your holiday.

Model Answer 1:

Dear Mark and Lucy,

Hope you’re doing great. I had a great time with you guys. Thank you so much both for the remarkable holiday in your city and for the lovely photos that you sent me yesterday.

Canada is certainly a spectacular country with an extraordinary landscape, vibrant culture and wildlife, particularly up in the area where you are. The holiday is over, but I’ll never forget the way you treated me – it was fabulous.

Sorry, it has taken me so long to write back and thank you. Almost as soon as I landed back in Italy, I got extremely busy with my office work. Besides, a severe cold forced me to take a few days off from the office, and I struggled to regain momentum at work and at home.

I would like to invite both of you to visit Italy. We’ll be celebrating our parent’s 40th marriage anniversary next month, and I expect you on this special occasion. I’ll take you to some of the famous places in Italy including Rome. Best known for housing ancient Roman structures and the Vatican City, Rome has stunning cathedrals and Renaissance architecture. I am sure you’ll enjoy your time here.

I would love to see you both soon. Take care and write back.

Warm wishes,

Emily
