My birthday is one of my favourite holidays. it is a wonderful chance to spend the time with your family and friends, with the people who really love you and remember you. on this day you are in the centre of their attention and you hear lots of warm and hearty words and pleasant compliments. when you check your mail you find many greetings from your classmates and relatives. your telephone keeps ringing all day long and you are very happy to answer the phone. i was born in summer, on the 9th of july. but i often celebrate my birthday on the nearest saturday. i wake up quite early on that day because i’m pretty excited. normally the weather is always sunny and hot. that is why i prefer going for a picnic with my guests somewhere to the river. but if it’s rainy we have a big party at home. of course, my parents help me organize the party. the day before that i help my mother with cleaning our home and cooking the food: salads, snacks, pies and a fantastic birthday cake. if we stay at home i usually dress up and do my hair. we dance and sing karaoke, play funny games. then my parents bring the birthday cake with candles, my friends start singing a happy birthday song and i blow out the candles. it’s really exciting for me. after that if we are not too tired we go to my room and listen to our favourite music, chat and watch tv. late in the evening we usually go for a walk. i also like celebrating my birthday because i get a lot of presents and beautiful bunches of flowers. by the way, my birthday is a remarkable day for my mother too, so i usually thank her for my life with lovely red roses. my parents always ask me about my wishes beforehand and i get presents that i really need. i find them under my bed in the morning when i wake up. so every year my birthday starts with a pleasant surprise from an early morning.
