Dear Paul,
Today it’s my birthday. I’m staying at home with my parents. This morning when I woke up my parents gave me a present. It was a new mobile phone, it’s really beautiful.
We’re waiting for my family because my grandparents and my aunt, my uncle and my cousins are comming home to celebrate my birthday.
Today it’s a special day for me because I’m eighteen. Here, when a person is eighteen, she can drive a car and if you’re eighteen here you can enter the discotheque. But I know that you aren’t eighteen, yet.
Yesterday night my friends organized a party for me. I went to work and when I turned up at home everybody shouted “surprise”. It was amazing. I dress up with a formal outfit. They made a cake for me, we shared out the birthday cake and everybody sang “happy birthday” to me. I was really happy. Maria set up the sound system and we joined in the dancing all night. At 4 o’clock am we cleared up the house and everybody went to their houses. It was a night to remember.
Now I’m going to have lunch with my family at my grandparents’ house.
I hope next year you can be here with me and celebrate my birthday with us. I miss you so much.
I hope you’re well.
Write soon,
Janina*
