Dear Tony,
Thank you very much for your letter. It was great to hear from you.
In your letter you ask me to tell you about my birthday... Well, I was born on the 6th of December, that is in winter and I can't go on a picnic on this day because the weather is usually very cold in December in our region. Though sometimes if the weather is rather warm we can go to ski or skate with my friends. Usually I invite my classmates to come to my birthday party which we arrange at home. We have fun joking and laughing, talking, dancing, listening to CDs and, of couse, eating tasty food and a delitious birthday cake. Sometimes we go out to a cafe with a few friends of mine or with my family. As for the present for my next birthday I would like to have а small puppy.
Well, I must finish now. Keep in touch.
Best wishes,
Alex
