A birthday party is a great idea. Today is November 30th, Bill’s birthday. All of his good friends, three boys and four girls, come to his party at seven in the evening. One of them is May from China. She tells a Chinese story to them at the party. All of them like the interesting story, because all of them like China very much.

Kids have much fun at the party. May gives a special present to Bill. The present and their presents aren’t the same. She gives Bill a pair of shoes made in China. Tony gives Bill a pen and Jim gives him a book. Kate brings a picture to Bill. Jack gives a blue shirt to Bill and Helen gives a black shirt to Bill. Jenny gives a box of apples to Bill. She wants Bill to have a nice birthday.

Bill says, “Thanks for your presents. I like them very much.”
