Read the passage and answer the following questions.(2pts)
That was Mai’s 16th birthday and her parents held a birthday party for her. I was one of those envited.
The party began at about 5 p.m There were about 30 of us gathering in Mai’s house. She didn’t like having the party at a restaurant because it is 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 fruits. We then listened to music and played cards. The winners were given prizes. At about 7 p.m Mai’s mother brought out the birthday cake. It was beautifully decorated with pink and white icing with 16 colorful candles on it. 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 9 p.m the party came to an end. We 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 3 doors away.
