Hi Sofia,
Guess what? I have great news! It is my birthday on Saturday, and I want a party. Can you come?
The party is at my house at six o'clock in the evening. My address is 12 Green Street. There is food, music, and a big cake. My brother makes pizza, so please come hungry!
Please bring your sister too. Do not bring a present — your smile is enough. Send me a message and tell me if you can come.
See you soon,
Mia
This A1 English reading is a short, informal email from a girl called Mia to her friend Sofia. Mia invites Sofia to her birthday party and gives the day, time, and place. Everyday emails like this are one of the most useful text types for beginners to read.
As you read, you practise scanning for key details — who wrote the message, when and where the party is, and what the reader should do next. The six comprehension questions check these points, and every answer points to the exact line in the email that proves it.
Keep practising with related reading and grammar units at your level.

1. Why is Mia writing to Sofia?
الإجابة: To invite her to a party
Correct. Mia writes 'It is my birthday on Saturday, and I want a party. Can you come?' The email is an invitation. She never says goodbye, asks for money, or cancels anything.
2. When is the party?
الإجابة: On Saturday evening
Correct. Mia says her birthday is 'on Saturday' and the party is 'at six o'clock in the evening'. So it is on Saturday evening, not in the morning or on another day.
3. Where is the party?
الإجابة: At Mia's house
Correct. Mia writes 'The party is at my house ... My address is 12 Green Street.' A restaurant, school, and park are never mentioned in the email.
4. What food is at the party?
الإجابة: Pizza and cake
Correct. Mia says there is 'a big cake' and 'My brother makes pizza'. So there is pizza and cake. The email never mentions soup, bread, or sandwiches.
5. What does Mia ask Sofia to bring?
الإجابة: Her sister
Correct. Mia writes 'Please bring your sister too.' She also writes 'Do not bring a present', so a present is wrong, and the music and cake are already at the party.
6. What should Sofia do next?
الإجابة: Send Mia a message
Correct. Mia writes 'Send me a message and tell me if you can come.' She asks Sofia to reply, not to buy a present, call her brother, or go to the house immediately.
