Α. Read the email and answer the questions.

Hi Dan,
How have you been? I՚m really sorry I didn՚t reply to your last
email. I՚ve been so busy with school all week. You see, I had to do
a huge history project and finish it by this morning. I hope I get a
good mark because I really tried my best!
Anyway, thank you so much for the invitation. A get-together at
your house next Saturday sounds like a wonderful idea. I՚d love to
come. It՚s been a long time since we all hung out and I՚m really
looking forward to seeing everyone.
Also, the activities you՚ve planned are fantastic, especially the
outdoor treasure hunt! I՚ve never taken part in one before and
I՚m really excited about it. You also mentioned in your email that

we՚re going to watch some films and play video games. Listen to
this! My uncle bought me a new video game last week. I was busy
with my project, so I didn՚t have any time to play it. Do you want
to come round to my house this Friday after school? We can play Dan's Treasure
it and if we like it, I can bring it to your get-together the next day!

What do you say? Let me know!
Take care,
Alex
