Hi Sara,

Please come to my new flat for lunch on Saturday. Lunch is at one o'clock. My flat is above the flower shop, next to the station. The door is blue. Please use the small bell on the right. The big bell is for the shop.

I am making soup and bread. You can bring some fruit. My sister is coming too. She speaks English and wants to meet you. After lunch, we can walk in the park if it is sunny. If it rains, we can play a game inside.

See you soon, Anna
