Question

13 Read part of an email you receive from an English-speaking friend.
I don't know what to do. I had an argument with my friend Sara yesterday and now she isn't speaking to me. I'm having a birthday party at the weekend and I've invited lots of my friends. However, I haven't invited a boy called Pete who my best friend likes. I don't really like him so I told her I wasn't going to invite him. Then she got angry and went home without saying goodbye. What do you think I should do? Should I invite him to make her happy? What will happen if I don't? Please write back and give me some advice.
Now write an email to your friend (100-120 words).​

Dear [Friend's name],

It is good to hear from you, and I am sorry about your difficult situation.

As much as I understand where Sara's feelings are coming from, it is your special day and you deserve to decide which people are going to be spending it with you. If you were to invite someone you don't like, and especially if the feeling is mutual, it might spoil everything and make your birthday an unpleasant memory. Nevertheless, Sara is your friend, and if Pete is important to her, perhaps you could make a compromise and meet her half-way. Who knows, maybe after the party you and Pete could get along better.

Whatever you decide, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and I wish you all the best.

Warm regards,

[Your name]
