MY birthday 我的生日

英文：

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.

譯文：

昨天是我生日，所以有幾位我的同班同學送我禮。母親給我準備一個茶會。我邀請他們都前來參加。

茶會下午六點半開始。有冷飲和點心。我們又吃又談又笑。我們覺得是世界上最快樂的人。

時間過得很快。轉瞬間，墻上的鐘敲九點了。我們不得不互道再見。
