Part 1

Hi Paula, I hope you're well! I'm excited to invite you to my big birthday party this summer. It'll be on July 20th at my house in Jersey, starting at 4 PM. We’ll have games, a nice dinner, and a bonfire in the evening. You can stay at our house; we have a guest room ready for you. We can also visit some local attractions and maybe do a day trip to the beach. I’d love to celebrate with you and show you around! Best,
Lucy

Task A: Essay

I really admire my grandmother. She is very strong and wise. Although she faced many problems in her life, she remained positive and strong. My grandmother grew up when times were tough, but she still managed to go to school and become a good teacher. She loves to help others, and education is very close to her heart. She is also a great cook and her meals are the best part of our family meetings. I admire her kindness, her patience and the fact that she always has time for everyone and gives them advice and support. She shows hard work, never gives up and is always there for others. Her strength and kindness inspire me every day and I hope that one day I will be as wonderful as she is. She is my role model.

Task B: Comment

I agree that it is better to read the book first and then watch the film. Books give a deeper understanding of the story, the characters and the setting. They allow readers to use their imagination to form a vivid picture of the plot. Reading the book first will give you a more detailed and fuller experience. Also, books often contain more information and background that can be left out of films due to time limits. Watching the film afterward allows you to enjoy it better, as you already understand the nuances and understand how the filmmakers brought the story to life. It also avoids spoilers that could ruin the experience of the book. Overall, reading the book enriches the entire experience.
