Tomorrow, Linda - my best friend- is going to celebrate her 20th birthday. I am going to
make her a cake and a beautiful birthday card. I will also buy her a big bunch of roses. I think
that it will be a great surprise for her. Apart from me, there are going to be only ten other
people attending the party. They are her neighbors who I have already known. Linda has
nineteen classmates but they will not come as she has given another party at school. To tell the
truth, I am quite comfortable with this because I am always nervous when I have to talk to new
people.
As Linda’s closest friend, I will come early to help her prepare for the party. We will
have to move her bed to her parents’ room because it takes too much space. We will move the
bonsai from the balcony into her room to make it more beautiful. I really hope that the party
will be a pleasant one.
