Рекомендации к письму. Задание C1

General tips

Use contractions: "We'd love to see you."

Use 'really' for emphasis: "We're going to have a really good time."

You can have incomplete sentences: "Great idea! Fantastic! Can't wait to see you."

Use "get": "get home", "get bored", "get sick", "get back", "get away", "get a present"

Short questions are fine: "What do you think?" "Will it be expensive?"

Inviting people

We're spending two weeks in the mountains and we'd love you to come with us. Are you free? I hope so because we'll have a really great time.


Turning down invitations

Thanks for the invitation but I'm really sorry that I won't be able to come. We've already arranged to go on a scubadiving trip to the Red Sea.
