I’m Ted. I’d like to tell you something about my birthday. Last Sunday was my 12th birthday. I planned to have a birthday party on Saturday night. I sent 50 invitations to my friends on Monday.

About 25 people told me they would come. On Saturday afternoon, I went to the supermarket to buy some food and drinks. I came home at around 17:30. I was really glad my parents helped clean the house.

The first person arrived at 18:00, and the others came later. Instead of the small number of 25, 40 people came. I didn’t have enough food or drinks for them, so I had to have a party in town.

The party in town was fun. The music was beautiful. We danced for a long time. We were all very happy.

The next day I spent my birthday with my parents. And I talked with my grandparents on the phone. l really had a great time.

Wang Li is fourteen years old. Today is Wang Li’s birthday. Her parents want to have a birthday party for her. Wang Li is a cute girl. She has fourteen good friends. They all plan to come to her party.

Wang Li’s mother is making birthday cakes for the party. They are very nice cakes. Wang Li says to her mother, “Mom, you’re very nice. Thank you for your nice cakes.” Her father is an office worker. He doesn’t go to work today. He goes shopping for them. He wants to buy some fruits such as apples, bananas, oranges and grapes.

It’s four o’clock in the afternoon. Everything is ready(准备好的). The party will begin at half past four. They are very happy. Wang Li says,“I will never forget the love of my parents.”

He likes egg and tomato noodles, but he wants to know why Grandma c    56     noodles this morning. “Grandma, why do you cook noodles for me? You know I often have bread and milk for breakfast.”

“Because it’s your birthday today.” s    57     Grandma. “In China, the long noodles are a symbol of long l    58    . The eggs are a symbol of good l    59    . I wish you can have a h    60     and healthy life.”

“Thanks, Grandma. It’s very kind of you.”
