Ms Emily Stewart

July 7th

Dear Emily,

Terribly sorry for not writing sooner. I was busy packing for my summer holidays. Thank you so much for the kind invitation to your birthday party. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to come as we’ll be abroad at that time.

The good news is I’m going to Greece with my family tomorrow. When Mum suggested going on holiday in July, I told her I was against that. I was thinking of going on holiday in June or August. But she said to me: “You have to, because Father and I can’t go in August.“ I kept on asking Mum to change the tickets, but finally I gave up arguing.

You know I hate making my Mum unhappy and I prefer travelling to staying at home, like all the British do. Though, this year I would prefer to stay at home in July as I would so much like to congratulate you on turning sixteen in person.

I’m a little worried about Greece. I’m not used to spending my time somewhere really hot. But, Greece, I hope, will be a wonderful experience. I’m going to see some ancient ruins and try some delicious local food.

How are you? What have you been doing? Have you heard from George? Please write back and tell me all your news.

Must stop here as my angry father wants me to help him with packing his clothes. Will write more when I’m in Greece.

Look forward to seeing you in August. Give my regards to your parents. Hope to hear from you soon.

Love, Julia.

P.S. I’m also sending you a little gift for your birthday. Hope it arrives in time. Check your mail.

P.P.S. I enclose a recent photo from one of our gigs.

gift = present;

gig = concert
