Today is my birthday and I'm so happy about it. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the morning I put a note on the table and say, "Today is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (I) birthday, don't forget it!" At school, I get many gifts and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (card) from my classmates and have a lot of fun. But I am waiting for the birthday party after school.

    It {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) time to go home. I open the door, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there is no one in the house. There is only a note and it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say), "Coming home late tonight, mum and dad." I call them but there is no answer. I am not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (happy). Do they forget my birthday? How can this be? I don't have fun. I have to do my homework.

    Now it is seven o'clock. The door opens. My {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (parent) are there, with flowers and some other gifts. And I see {#blank#}9{#/blank#} big and nice cake, too.

    You see, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) a very good time on my birthday!

    I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} English boy. My name is Tom. I am in Beijing. Now it is winter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} China.

    And the weather here {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) very cold. We can see snow everywhere and every day. But I like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (play) with snow. At school, I have a good classmate. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he) name is Daming.

    He also likes snow. And he can skate. We always play with snow together on Saturday.
