Thanks for your email. That's amazing news! Well done! Yes, I'd love to come. I can go in July, but not August. I'm a big football fan, so I prefer football. Why don't we buy football shirts?

Exam task
Hi,
The weather forecast looks good next weekend, so my flatmates and I are having a barbecue to celebrate the beginning of summer. Would you like to come?
I'd like to invite everyone in our English class. What kind of food do you think our classmates would like to eat at a barbecue?
I'd also like everyone to play a sport after we eat. What sport do you think would be best for our classmates?
See you soon,
Logan
