When I have my spare time I go to the sport club, go for a walk and, of course, sleep. To tell you the truth, all members of my family prefer different kinds of activities, for example, my mom prefers cooking, my grandfather likes sitting with my sister. So, I prefer listening to music, and, as you know, going to parties!
Wow! Your birthday! It’s cool! Who was invited to your party? What presents did you get? And what about the best present?
Sorry, but I must go now. Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Vova
