Dear Adrian,

When I received your invitation to your birthday party, my heart swelled with delight. It swelled with longing to go. I yearned to be there for you. Then it shattered into a thousand pieces when I learned that my mom was being sent to hospital. Anyway, I am sorry that I wasn’t able to attend the party.

My mom suffered a heart attack on the day I took preparation to join the party. On that noon, my brother informed me that they were taking mom to the hospital as she had had a stroke. Without delaying a second, I straight went to the hospital where mom was admitted. I was overwhelmed by the situation and I couldn’t make any call to you to explain the situation. You would be glad to know that mom is now completely recovered from the stroke by the grace of god.

I hope you consider my condition and forgive me. But I would like to take you to dinner this Sunday at your favourite restaurant, the River Café. We can have some delicious Italian food. What do you think? Are you still angry at me? Can’t we meet there at 7.00 pm?

I look forward to hearing you soon.

My Favourite Food
My name is Alex. I’m 14 years old. I live in one of the most beautiful cities of Russia, in Sochi. My family is quite small. I have got a mother, a father, a younger brother and a cat. My mum is usually responsible for cooking and for buying necessary food. She prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of us. Sometimes my father also cooks. It usually happens at weekends. Both of my parents are good cooks, which is why we prefer eating home-made food. However, sometimes we can also eat out. My father reserves a table in some restaurant or cafe and we spend a great evening together. It usually happens on special occasions. My favourite food is pizza. I like all kinds of pizza and other Italian dishes. For my birthday, my parents always try to arrange a pizza party. There are times when we simply order pizza for lunch or dinner, just because there is no time for cooking. Out of my mum’s home cooking I prefer Ukrainian borscht. It’s a special red cabbage soup, which is tastier to eat with sour cream. Borscht is a traditional Russian and Ukrainian dish and many foreigners want to try it when visiting these countries. In general, I can say that I am a good eater. I like many types of food, among them fruit, vegetables, sweets and cakes, etc. However, there are some products which I don’t like eating. They are mushrooms and fish. My mother knows about it and she tries not to use these products in dishes.
