10 . Annie, a neighbor’s daughter, was away for her first semester at college this school year. She is a very sweet girl but just a bit shy. When her birthday came around, I found out she was feeling a bit_______.

Her family is quite poor and _______ are tight, so there wouldn’t be any birthday visitors. I wanted to _______ her a card and maybe a small gift to _______ her day a bit. I got her school _______ from her mom and planned to pick something up. Then I got a(n) _______!

I _______ perhaps a bit more birthday cheer was needed here. I bought some balloons, birthday hats, and _______ novelties (新颖小巧而价廉的物品) at a store. I took a small _______ and asked three other people in my area at work to ________ “Happy Birthday” and send some birthday wishes to her. It was such fun making the recording! Other people ________ what we were doing and ________ their voices, so it really sounded like we had a party going on!

Then I bought her a small present and a card as ________ planned. The real fun was packing them to be sent. I ________ everything so it was like opening a mini birthday party! At the last minute I added a pack of cupcakes and a box of birthday candles ________ sending them off. I got a call a few days later. Annie said her roommates and one of their neighbors in the ________ got together with her and held a party for her the moment they arrived. She sounded so ________ and I was so glad that she had some friends to ________ her special day with.

It was such an easy and ________ thing to do. The people who helped me make the tape still laugh and talk about it. And Annie ________ me it was the most fun birthday she would remember!
