From: Alex

Subject: Running

Hey,
I'm glad you can come to my house to go running with me and my older sister next weekend. Me too

There's a big park near my house and we usually go there to run for about 5 km. Is 5 km a good distance for you? Tell Alex

My sister and I had planned to pick you up, but her car broke down yesterday. I hope it won't be a problem for you to get to my house. Don't worry because... 

We'll probably get hungry. My mum wants to know what food she can make for us to eat. Any ideas? Suggest...

See you soon,

Alex
