In your letter, invite him to stay and suggest a date briefly describe the new house and garden say why you like your new house You should write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Jimmy, Sample Band 9 Letter Dear Jimmy, Guess what! I have finally moved into my new house! The furniture is already arranged and the boxes that you saw at my old apartment last time containing all the decorations have disappeared. I would love you to come over for a few weeks to stay. I would appreciate your company and we can finish off any last adjustments together. I know that you are creative and so maybe you have some tips for me on how to decorate the living room. Besides a huge bookshelf, a TV and a sofa, I am unsure about what else to put in there. What do you think about next Friday? You can come anytime, but this would be most convenient for me. I am sure that you will like my new house, just as I do. The garden has exquisite flowers and herbs from its previous owners and the large stove in the kitchen gives you a feeling of nostalgia. In addition to this, the staircase creaks in a funny way, which reminds me of the old house where I lived in as a child. I am looking forward to your answer and I hope that you can come as soon as possible!
