Dear Lily，
How is everything getting along with you? It is almost one year since we graduated from high school. I miss you very much. What have you been doing all these days?
I have been a student in a college of continuing education since graduation from high school. I have been very busy with my courses, but I like my teachers and I love learning new things, you know. So everything is fine here.
I’m glad to tell you that there will be a former classmates’ get-together during this May Day holiday at our high school. You are my best friend. I never forget those happy days we spent together. I hope you can come when the time is due.
Looking forward to your reply
Best regards
Truly yours,
Mike

Dear Lily，
I haven't heard from you for a long time. Is everything going well with you?
I am now working in a multinational company in which English is very important in daily life. I study English in my spare time. The most difficult thing for me is oral English. Would you please buy a good oral English book for me?
We haven't seen each other since last summer. Why not come to Shanghai for some days when you are free? We will spend a happy time together then.
Looking forward to seeing you soon
Best wishes
Yours，
Mike

Dear Lily，
Thank you for your invitation to your home for dinner yesterday. It was a beautiful night. I enjoyed the food and the music very much. This Saturday is my birthday. There will be a birthday party at my place, and I will invite some close friends to have dinner at my home. I do hope you can come to join us. One of my friends will play the guitar. We can sing and dance to the music. It would be fun. Please make sure you will come.
I am looking forward to having you at my party.
Best wishes
Yours，
Mike
