PSLE Grade A1 Situational Writing Model Answer

Subject: Invitation to Celebrate Your Birthday at Sizzler Café

Dear Fred,

How are you? I would like to invite you to celebrate your birthday with me at Sizzler Café, which is located at Sunset Mall.

My mother and I recently dined there and we had a wonderful experience. She liked the café because the food was tasty and the dishes were served quickly. I especially enjoyed the delicious chocolate cake.

As the birthday boy, you can enjoy the Special Birthday Menu, which includes hotdog and fries. Since these are your favourite foods, I am sure you will love them.

To make your birthday celebration extra special, I will treat you to a birthday meal and surprise you with a slice of chocolate cake. I hope you can join me for this memorable celebration.

Please let me know if you are free.

Your cousin,
Colin
