[Speaking] Talk about your birthday.

Your birthday comes around just once a year. It could be in any season: spring, summer, autumn, or winter. It's a day for eating delicous foods with family at home. You can also go out and spend time with friends. People congratulate you on your birthday at school or at work. 

 

It is a day when you are filled with antipation as you wonder what gifts you'll are received. Kids look forward to toys like robots, dolls, or school supplies. Grown-ups probably hope for envelopes filled with cash. Whatever it is, it feels good to receive a gift.

 

Birthday partyies is are always a load of fun. You can decorate with balloons, and invite friends, families and neighbours. It's a great opportunity to make good memories. You might write in your diary about that day and fill a page. At midnight, you might feel wistful as you go to bed.
