Birthday Party

This year I would like to celebrate my birthday party at home with my friends and in a restaurant with my family and relatives, because this is a special holiday to me. I can book a table in a restaurant “Toffy”, because it is one of my favourite places. I invite all my close friends: send the invitations to them or just talk on the phone. I clean my room, lay the table and decorate my living-room. My mother prepares a delicious cake and dishes for my friends. I wait and like the moment when I can blow out the candles on my birthday cake and wish something I want.

The day before my birthday my mother and I go shopping and we buy a lot of food, vegetables, fruit and, of course, a lot of sweets. I am always worried and nervous on my birthday. I want everything be good. I am very friendly, that’s why I have a lot of friends at my birthday party. They buy me a lot of presents, flowers and boxes of chocolates. My father always buys me something special. He bought me a new watch on my last birthday. My mother usually gives me money and I can buy everything I want. When my friends come, we celebrate my birthday all day long. We eat delicious dishes, then dance or sing or just go to the disco. We can take a lot of photographs and it is always very funny. The atmosphere is really very good. We have a really good time together.
