Birthday is
a very wonderful day. Everybody likes to celebrate it. It is a good opportunity
to relax and spend time with friends, parents, relatives.My name is Olga. I’m twelve years old. I have one main and
particular day in the year. It’s my birthday. There are a lot of holidays
throughout the year but of course the most memorable is the birthday. How do I spend the party? I was born in
winter, in December, so the weather is usually cold at this time and we arrange
a birthday party at home. I invite my family members and my best friends. Mum
and granny cook a lot of tasty and delicious things for our festive dinner. We
clean the flat and decorate it with balloons. When guests come we have a hearty
dinner. My mum brings the birthday cake
in. Then I puff the candles out. Guests sing songs and dance, play games and
joke, laugh or tell funny stories. Then we play different games. As for birthday presents, of course, I like to
receive something interesting. I know that today many people prefer rational gifts,
for example money or something valuable. For some of them it is even a common
practice to say in advance what they would like to receive. I agree that on the
one hand such reasonable approach is rather convenient. At least, you are sure
that you won’t receive any unwanted junk, and your friends won’t have to break
their heads over this issue. But on the other hand, to my mind, it’s too
boring. I like surprises, so I prefer something inexpensive, but unusual and
memorable. During our merry party we do
not only sing songs, dance, and make jokes but we also speak about our life,
hobbies, and future. As for me, as I have already mentioned, my birthday is one
of the most wonderful days in the year. I am always happy to have a nice day
with my friends.
