One of your friends recently had a birthday celebration, but you missed it and you forgot to tell your friend that you couldn't attend.
Write a letter to your friends. In your letter:

- Apologise for missing the birthday celebration
- Explain why you missed it and why you didn't tell your friend
- And say what you would like to do to show that you are sorry


Dear John,

It's with huge regret that I write this letter to present my apologies for missing your birthday party.

I'm extremely sorry for having missed your birthday celebration. I know that it was a special night for you and I can't say how much I'm ashamed to miss this special night and occasion to be around you.

I couldn't come to your party because my little sister was extremely sick and I had to drive her to the hospital where I spent 2 days in a row. I couldn't leave her alone and on top of that I've forgotten my mobile phone at home. It wasn't a pleasant moment and hopefully she's feeling much better now.

I would like to catch up with you next week to say sorry for missing your party and to give you your gift. I've bought a special gift for you which I couldn't give you during that night.
Please consider this letter as an invitation to the Indian restaurant which I know you like.

I can't wait to see you next week.

With love,
Peter

Hello!

Overall, a very good letter. Some grammar mistakes, but they do not create problems with understanding. Sometimes, shorter sentences allow candidates to be more accurate. Good vocabulary and organisation.

Well done!

Hello!
Thanks for your feedback. Could you please point out my grammar mistakes in order to reach band 7? it seems that it's my main weakness.
Many thanks.
