    Most children like to have parties for their birthdays {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they can ask their friends to go to their parties. The birthday boy or girl is in beautiful{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. They play games, sing, dance and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  At the birthday party, the birthday cake is their{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  food.

    Dominic is my neighbour. He lives in the flat {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. He moved in about two months ago. I've never seen him or spoken to him and I didn't know his name until last week. I'm a typical British neighbour-I don't need to  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}my neighbours.

    Dominic plays the guitar. Well, actually he's learning to play the guitar. Every evening he comes home and plays the guitar. For an hour. Or maybe two. Sometimes it continues through the night. And sometimes he sings  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I can hear his voice clearly. In fact he's got quite a good voice. But he isn't a good guitarist.

    Now, I'm a  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}person. I enjoy music. And Dominic is learning to play the guitar. I really can't ask him to quit playing his favourite instrument, So I tolerate(容忍)his music, his guitar and his singing.
