She turned 16 recently and her parents held a birthday party for her. I was one of those invited. The party began at about three in the afternoon. There were about twenty of us gathering in Mai’s house. She didn’t like having the party at a restaurant because it is noisy and expensive. We gave presents to Mai and she happily opened them. It must really be exciting to receive all those presents. After that Mai’s mother served us soft drinks and biscuits. We then listened to music and played cards. The winners were given prizes. At about four thirty Mai’s mother brought out the birthday cake. It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icing. Sixteen colourful candles sat in the middles of the cake. We all clapped our hands eagerly and sang “Happy Birthday” as she blew out the candles and cut the cake. We helped ourselves to slices of the delicious cake and sang all the songs that we knew. Finally at about six in the evening the party came to an end. We were all tired but happy. The parents of other children came to collect them by motorbikes. I helped Mai and her mother clean up the mess we had made. After that I walked home, which was only three doors away. WRITING Suggested writing Dear Lan, I’m going to hold a birthday party next Sunday. I would be very glad if you can come to my party at 7p.m. I’m sure you will find your time here comfortable because I have also invited all members in our class. It will be a nice chance for you to enjoy some delicious food and drink that will be prepared by my mother and sister. The hi-fi stereo system also allows you to practice being a real singer. I believe that our whole class love karaoke singing. There are also a lot of other interesting things that I cannot tell in some lines. Please come and enjoy your time.
