Answer 1

One Possible Version

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your invitation.

I’ d love to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to inform you that I can’t. My grandpa is seriously ill in hospital and I have to attend him. As for the introduction speech, I strongly recommend my friend Anna, who is the most suitable choice to take my place next Sunday. She began to learn painting at an early age and has a broad knowledge of traditional Chinese painting, which, combined with her active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence and all the best wishes to you.
