Dear Maggie,

Thank you for your birthday card. I like it very much.

It’s really nice of you because you still remember (记得) my birthday. I want to have a party for my birthday this Saturday afternoon. It isn’t very big—only some of my good friends. I will have the party in my cousin Sarah’s house from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. At the party, we can listen to some beautiful music and play video games first. Next, we will eat a delicious birthday cake. My mother will make it for us. Then at about 4:30 p.m., we can go to the Water Park to have fun and take some great photos.

So, would you like to come to my party? Sarah’s house is just next to the Water Park, on the left (左边). Look forward to (期待) seeing you!

Nancy
