Jednak wciąż istnieją okazje, kiedy to wysłanie listu jest najlepszym rozwiązaniem - na przykład, aby wyrazić wdzięczność, przeprosić lub po prostu nawiązać kontakt ze znajomymi, rodziną czy partnerem biznesowym.
Umiejętność pisania listów po angielsku może okazać się także bardzo przydatna na egzaminach, takich jak np. matura czy egzaminy z języka angielskiego, a także w życiu zawodowym. Poniżej kilka przykładów listów po angielsku - zaproszenie na imprezę
Dear Juan,
Thanks a lot for your last postcard – great news you’re coming to London next week.
They’re throwing a party at my college on Tuesday and I wondered if you’d like to come. It’s a chance to meet up with people of different nationalities who have come here to study English. It might be worth coming along!
The party kicks off at 7.30 in the Assembly Hall and they’ve asked everyone to bring along an object that may be of interest to others or just some food to share, for instance some traditional dish.
I’m taking a traditional Polish dish ‘bigos’ made from sour cabbage, sausages, meat and mushrooms. I’m sure everyone will love it!
Hope it sounds exciting for you. Let me know soon if you are coming.
Lots of love
XYZ

Hi [imię],
I hope you are well. It's been a while since we've had the chance to catch up properly, and I thought it would be a great idea to have a get-together with all our friends. I'm having a party next weekend at my place, and I would love it if you could come!
The party will start at 7pm on Saturday, and there will be drinks, snacks, and music. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I know that you would enjoy yourself. Feel free to bring along anyone else you'd like to invite.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you again and catching up on everything. Let me know if you can make it, and if there's anything you'd like me to prepare or bring.
Take care, and see you soon!
