It’s my parents’ 20^th  wedding anniversary next month. We could have a party, or go out for a meal, or maybe something else. What do you think would be a good idea? What do I need to do to organise it? How can I make it a really special evening for them?

As for other news, I’ve just started learning how to play the guitar.

Dear Maxine,

I was glad to receive your letter and to learn the latest news! I wish your parents a happy anniversary and many unforgettable moments of the day!

So, you asked me about a surprise party. Oh, I adore organizing parties especially when they are devoted to the certain events! And I'd like to say that it's not very difficult. I think you should decorate your flat with flowers and balloons and make dinner for your parents. You can also buy them something unusual as a present or make it yourself and invite all your close relatives to arrange a special evening!

Well, it's great that you like to play the guitar! Is it difficult to learn how to play it? Will I be able to do it on my own?  How can I get started?

Hope to hear from you soon!

Lots of love,

Jane
