　　MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日

　　Yesterday was my birthday， so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.

　　The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate， talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.

　　Time passed quickly. In a twinkling， the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say Good-bye to one another.

　　昨天是我生日，所以有几位我的同班同学送我礼。母亲给我准备一个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。

　　茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。

　　时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点了。我们不得不互道再见。
