Use the template or make your own to-do list.

Fill in the words for the example message

Dear Noah,

I want to organise a surprise party for Lisa because she is a very good friend. The party is on Saturday 14 June at my house.

Can you come too?

Could you bring some chips and soda for the party?

Do you maybe have balloons at home? Can you bring them with you?

See you there!

Next lessons

We saw and heard different invitations in lessons 1 and 2...

We now also know who to invite and what we need for the party...

Our next step is to write and design our own invitation (Lesson 4 and 5)

In the last lesson we will practice speaking. Maybe you forgot to invite someone and run into her at the supermarket...

Enjoy your day, see you tomorrow!
