Today is my birthday. I am ten years old. My family has a party at our house. There is a big cake on the table. The cake is chocolate. There are ten candles on it. There are also sandwiches and juice. My grandma cooks special soup.

My friends come at three o’clock. There are six children at the party. We play games in the garden. There is a small dog with us. The dog runs and runs. We laugh a lot.

My mum gives me a present. There is a new book inside. I love books. My dad gives me a yellow T-shirt. Yellow is my favourite colour.

In the evening, we eat the cake. There is ice cream too. My friends sing “Happy Birthday”. I am very happy. There are good people in my life.
