My favorite day is my birthday.
It is specially for me,
I send out cards to all my friends,
Inviting them for tea.Parties such a jolly fun,
It’s always such a treat,
With funny hats and party games,
And birthday cake to eat.
I wish you a very Happy Birthday and many Happy returns of the day!

Dear friend!
My favorite day is my birthday! I send invitations cards to invite friends. I decorate my flat with balloons, posters and flowers. You can see the cake with candles, fruit, sweets and chocolate on the table. We sing songs, make a wish and blow the candles out. We have funny hats, play games. I like “pin the tail to the donkey”.

Love, Tom.
