Writing an invitation

Hello, boys and girls! My name is Bobby.

And my name is Tobby. This is our friend Mobby.

Welcome to our lesson.

Today we have a guest.

It’s Mr. White.

He is our postman!

Hello, everyone!

Mr. White brought us a letter.

It’s from Muggles.

Guys, who is Muggles?

Oh, I don’t know!

Me neither!

Yeah! We don’t know any Muggles, Mr. White.

Guys, my task was to bring you this letter. That’s all! If you want to know who Muggles is, open the letter and read it.

Oh, you’re absolutely right! Thank you so much, Mr. White.

You’re welcome! Bye, boys!

Bye, Mr. White.

Guys, let’s read the letter right now!

Yeah! I agree with Tobby.

All right! Let’s start reading it.

“Hello, Bobby, Mobby and Tobby. This is a penguin. My name is Muggles. I’m writing you, because I need your help. My friend Bruno said that you are very good and kind boys. So he advised me to write you a letter and ask for help. Bruno also said that you always help people and animals who are in trouble. I’m not in trouble, but I really need your help. I’m going to celebrate my birthday on Sunday. And I want to invite my friends to my birthday party, but I don’t know how to write an invitation. Boys, could you help me, please? If I don’t write the invitation, nobody will come. I really count on you. Can’t wait to get your response letter. Many thanks, in advance, for your help!

Best wishes, Muggles”

Guys, we have to help Muggles!

Yes, I agree with you.

Me too! Boys, let’s write the response letter and invite Muggles to our place.

Oh, that’s a wonderful idea!

Let’s do that!

“Hello, Muggles. We got your letter. And we will be happy to help you! Come to our place tomorrow. The address is 25 Gold Street. We will teach you how to write an invitation. Best wishes, Bobby, Mobby and Tobby”

So today in the lesson we will:

learn the definition of the term “invitation”;

discuss how to write an invitation;

And

put the knowledge into practice.

Hello, Muggles! Please, come in!

Oh, thank you!

Hello, boys! I’m so happy to meet you!

Muggles, we are happy to meet you too!

All right! Let’s start our lesson.

And first of all, let’s answer the question “What does the word “invitation” mean?”.

Invitation is a written or spoken request to get another person to join you at a specific event such as a party, a meal or a meeting.

Muggles, we’ve told you about the meaning of the term “invitation”.

Now let’s discuss how to write an invitation.

Oh, great!

When you write an invitation, start it with your friend’s name and a comma.

For example:

Dear Maddison,

Then you must write the reason you are inviting him or her.

Let’s look at the example:

My sister is turning 20! We have decided to surprise her with a great party. So please join us to celebrate Kate’s birthday. She will be happy to see you!

After that tell your guests when the event will be. This is a very important element, so make sure to be clear about the date and time of your event. Always include the day of the week as well.

Look at the example:

The celebration of her birthday will be on the 5^th of December. It’s next Sunday. Come to our great party at 6 o’clock in the evening.

Then tell your guests the place where he or she has to go. Your event can take place at your house, at your friend’s house, at a restaurant or elsewhere, but you always have to be clear about the name and address of the location.

Let’s look at the example:

It will be held at Wendy’s house. Her address is 6 Greenfield Street.

And don’t forget to sign your invitation. At the end of it write something like “best wishes”, “with love”, “your friend” and so on.

For example:

Kate’s sister,

Sophia

That’s all you need to know, Muggles!

Oh, thank you so much, boys! Now I understand how to write invitations.

Muggles, we are happy to hear that!

Yeah, but we would like to check your knowledge if you don’t mind.

Oh, sure! No problem!

Great!

Look! This is Julia.

This is Evelyn.

This is Audrey.

And this girl is Zoe.

Each of these four girls wrote an invitation. Read them and answer the question “What mistake did the girl make in her invitation?”

First, let’s read Julia’s invitation.
