Hi Sam,
Thanks for your email. I’m not really keen on festivals, especially the local ones, but I’m glad to tell you that I’ve recently heard about a marvelous festival held in Valsinni, in Basilicata, in the middle of July. Valsinni is famous for being the hometown of Isabella Morra, a poet who lived and tragically died in the XVI century. Every year, Valsinni goes back in time to pay honor to her: street artists perform street drama and jesters, jugglers and fire-eaters flood into streets!
I think that this festival could be really useful for your project to improve. It would be good if you made up your mind as soon as possible because of the flights. You'd be welcome to stay at my house and we could visit and enjoy the festival together.
Let me know whether you decide it’s worth coming or not, I assure you it is!
Looking forward to hearing from you
Laura
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good letter and your language is of a very high standard.
There are just a couple of suggestions I would make:
*honor is the American spelling. UK English version honour
*I would probably say "flood the streets"
*The "for your project to improve" is not clear. Do you mean "to improve your project"? Alternatively, you could just stop after "for your project."
Lovely ending to the letter.
