Tape script
Mai is my neighbor She turned 16 recently and her parents held a birthday party for her I was one of those invited
The party began at about three in the afternoon There were about twenty of us gathering in Mai’s house She didn’t like having the party at a restaurant because it is noisy and expensive
We gave presents to Mai and she happily opened them It must really be exciting to receive all those presents After that Mai’s mother served us soft drinks and biscuits We then listened to music and played cards The winners were given prizes At about four thirty Mai’s mother brought out the birthday cake It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icing Sixteen colourful candles sat in the middles of the cake We all clapped our hands eagerly and sang “Happy Birthday” as she blew out the candles and cut the cake We helped ourselves to slices of the delicious cake and sang all the songs that we knew
Finally at about six in the evening the party came to an end We were all tired but happy The parents of other children came to collect them by motorbikes I helped Mai and her mother clean up the mess we had made After that I walked home, which was only three doors away
