You are spending two months in London and your friend Chris has sent you an email inviting

you to the following programme on Saturday night:

Times: 10:30-11:30 PM, 1:30-2:30 AM, 2:00-3:00 AM

Venue: Royal Observatory Greenwich

Come to the Royal Observatory Greenwich for a night of astronomy. The programme consists of

a planetarium show to illustrate what’s in the night sky on the day of your visit, a chance to look

through our gigantic 18-tonne Victorian telescope, and some time on the Prime Meridian after

dark with an amazing view, a hot drink and astronomers to answer your questions.

Write an email of 50-80 words to Chris in which you

• accept the invitation,

• say why you are interested,

• choose the time you prefer and say why.

Begin your email like this:
