Drive-ins or Drive-thrus?
People in the U.S. love getting things fast, and one of the most popular ways to buy things is
through a drive-thru. In fact, these days people can do almost anything in a drive-thru. You can
go to a drive-thru bank or restaurant, and if you want, you can even get married in a drive-thru!
In Las Vegas, there are so many drive-thru wedding chapels that it’s also called the ‘wedding
capital of the world’. You can even have a wedding based on a theme, like Star Trek.

Earlier, in the 1950s, though, drive-ins were very popular. A drive-in can be a restaurant, where
you park your car and eat in it, or a drive-in cinema, where you watch a film on a big screen
from inside your car. Drive-ins became less popular in the 1970s when drive-thrus first
appeared. With a drive-thru, you don’t even need to stop your car! Who knows what the future
of drive-thrus will be. Some day we might be able to have a drive-thru supermarket, or even a
hospital!

Hi there,
Guess what? My first CD is finally out! I’m really excited about that and I wanted to let you know. I’m
writing because I’d like to invite you to the presentation of the CD. You know how nervous I feel when it
comes to public speaking. I would feel more confident if my friends were around, so I would really
love it if you could come.

The presentation is on Sunday, but you can spend the whole weekend here. I can definitely put you
up. Don’t worry about it. Just tell me when you’re coming and I’ll pick you up from the airport. Can’t
wait to see you.
Bye for now,
Janet
