An email from a friend
Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
Hi Samia,
Just a quick email to say that sounds like a great idea. Saturday is better for me because I'm meeting my parents on Sunday. So if that's still good for you, why don't you come here? Then you can see the new flat and all the work we've done on the kitchen since we moved in. We can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon. It's going to be so good to catch up finally. I want to hear all about your new job!
Our address is 52 Charles Road, but it's a bit difficult to find because the house numbers are really strange here. If you turn left at the post office and keep going past the big white house on Charles Road, there's a small side street behind it with the houses 50–56 in. Don't ask me why the side street doesn't have a different name! But call me if you get lost and I'll come and get you.
Let me know if there's anything you do/don't like to eat. Really looking forward to seeing you!
See you soon!
Gregor
I usually make plans with my friends and family by phone or via WhatsApp. It depends on how big the meeting is.
If it’s a small, informal gathering for three or four people, I can handle it by calling everyone. However, if it’s a bigger get-together, it’s easier to create a group chat—for example, on WhatsApp—and try to find a date that works for everyone.
I make plans with friends over a phone call or by texting to them.
usually i make a message for my friend on whatsapp.
I never send messages via email, I prefer to send messages via WhatsApp
We make plans by calling each other
No, we usually make plans by sending messages to each other in a group chat. Everybody puts forward their opinions. However, the majority has the hold.
That’s very useful and now I know how to write an email for my best friend. I will try it soon.
Most of the time, I use messengers to make plans with friends and colleagues. It’s more convenient than using email. I only use email for registrations and promotional messages.
I usually use WhatsApp to make plans with my friends, it is easier than using Emails, I think also it sounds very formal and strange to contact with your friends using emails :)
“What a great idea! I love how you planned everything, and it will be great to catch up.”
