Hello everyone,

I'll be posting grades and comments for Module 11 soon. If you remember, you wrote two emails here, one an invitation to a party and the other a response. The following sentences were taken from student submissions. All of them have problems - can you fix them? It may be helpful to know that the first four (plus number 11) are from the invitation, the rest from the response.

1. In order to celebrate on the occasion of the end of the semester. Therefore, our team would like to invite all of you to a get-together party.

2. It’s because the vacation period will come nearly, so my teammates and I have an idea for a party before this semester will end.

3. It’ll be fun lots of people from our university are coming sure you know some of them.

4. Direction: When you arrive Amphoe Meang, go straight to Sukhumvit road for 2 km, Robinson Department Store is on your left hand, the place; where to be held on the party, is next to Robinson Department Store.
