Here is part of a letter you receive from an elderly relative who lives abroad.

Actually, I wanted to ask you something. As you know, I haven't got a computer at home. Do you think I should buy one? Will it be easy for me to learn how to use it at my age? And how helpful do you think the internet will be for me?

Write your letter in 140-190 words in an appropriate style.

You have received this letter from your English-speaking friend, Joan.

I hear you organised a surprise birthday party for your brother. I'd love to hear about it. What kind of party did you organise? Who did you invite? How did it go? Do tell me. 

Love, 

Joan
