5. SAMPLE ANSWER

To: Amygirl@bookface.com

Subject: Picnic

Hi Amy,
I am so glad that you have brought this up as I had nothing planned for the holidays. I
am totally excited and I know just the place for our picnic. It will be at Central Park just
beside East Road. We could also play ball there as the park is huge. Don’t forget to bring
an extra mat to place our foods on just in case I lost mine. Don’t worry about the
supplies, I can handle them, though you could bring some snacks if you would like too.
The more, the better. I was also thinking that we could have Jack and David come. It
will be more fun with them around. Alright, do update me if something comes up. Bye!
