Hi Matt,
It’s great to hear from you. Thanks so much for
the invitation to your birthday party next
Saturday.
I’d love to come. What time does it start? I have
football practice until 6pm, but I can come any
time after that. You said that the party is a
sleepover, so what do you want me to bring? I
have my own sleeping bag and pillow that I can
take with me. Also, do you want me to bring
some food? I know how to make a really tasty
chocolate cake. We could share it with everyone
else. If you like, I can even bring my Xbox so
that we can play computer games. I think
everyone will find that fun.
Thanks again for the invitation. Can’t wait to see
you!
Henry
