Subject: Re: Time-out Dear Patricia, I'm glad to hear you had a great birthday! When I go to a birthday party, I usually wear smart casual clothes, like a nice dress or a shirt and trousers. In Russia, wearing elegant clothes is sometimes expected, especially at formal parties, but casual outfits are often acceptable at informal gatherings. If I were you, I would kindly talk to my friend afterward and suggest she wears something more suitable next time, so she feels comfortable. Hope your homework goes well! Call me soon. Best wishes, Russian_friend сколько тут слов?
