Приветствую вас, дорогие читатели!
Сегодня рассмотрим "универсальную" переписку между друзьями и приглашение в гости. Вы можете использовать ее, общаясь с вашими иностранными друзьями.
How are you doing? I am studying like crazy here, because it is my final next week. So apologies if this is just a quick message. I`ve been thinking a lot about your invite to come and stay, and yes, I`d love to! My exams finish on Friday, so I could get on a train any time after then. When would be best for you?
I`ve never seen your hometown, so I`m really looking forward to it. Is there anything good on? I`d really like to explore, and maybe go to some local events too. What is it like?
Anyway, I`d better get back to my revision. Speak soon!

Hi Mary!
That`s great news! I`m studying for my exams at the moment too, but I`ll have finished by next Saturday, so why don`t you come then? I know what you mean about the need to get out and about. I`m sick and tired of these four walls! Let`s hit the town on your visit. Belfast`s got a wild clubbing scene, so we`ll bw spoilt for choice. Restaurants are really pricey, though, so we`ll give them a miss.
Anyway, you`ll love Belfast. It is a friendly, cosmopolitan city, with a really vibrant feel to it. In the last few years there`ve been a lot of changes. It used to be a bit run down in places, but it`s all been done, and now it is a touristic hot-spot! There are some very trendy boutiques, if you`re into that kind of thing. I think the Music Festival`s going to be on that week so we could check out some bands, if you`re up for that?
Let me know when your train gets in, and I`ll come and pick you up.
Take care,
Anna
Hit the town = go into town for a night out
Be spoilt for choice= have a big selection
A (tourist) hot-spot = a popular destination
Pick (someone) up = collect (someone) in a car
