An informal letter

Dear Ann,

Sorry I haven't written to you before, but I've been very busy recently studying for my exams.

Firstly, I must say that I'm very glad because you live in Bijeljina now. We are so close to each other, which is really cool. You said in your letter that you were feeling lonely, but you shouldn't! There are many young people around you, who are certainly in a mood for meeting new people, especially foreigners. So, I suggest that you should enrol in some language schools, where people want to speak about many things in English. You could tell them about life in Britain, about youngsters, culture... everything you like! In that way, you will also learn a lot about our culture, night life, school system etc. That is, at the same time, good opportunity for you to make some friends. Perhaps, you could go out with them sometimes.

Finally, it is important to remember that you can always come to my town and stay at my house, at least during the weekends. We can arange some picnics, if you like. Just say! Oh, I remembered something! How about comming to my best friend's birthday party next Saturday! My friends would be really happy to meet you! Think about it! I hope you will accept my offer. Write soon and let me know if you are planning to come. Actually, don't think about it! Just say 'yes'! You won't feel lonely any more!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Tatjana.
