Gao Fei,
Thanks for your message.
What are you doing now? I’m really busy. We’re all getting ready for my grandma’s sixtieth birthday. There will be a big family party this evening in the garden, with about forty people."And"all our relatives "and"Grandma’s friends are coming to the house.
So this afternoon we’re cleaning"and"tidying up. My mother is cooking in the kitchen. Now she’s got some pears, strawberries, grapes"and"watermelons. She is making fruit salad."And"my aunts are helping her. They’ve got carrots"and"cabbages. They’re cooking pies"and"pancakes. My brother is washing dishes"and"glasses. Father is putting lights in the garden at the moment,"and"my uncle is setting out tables"and"chairs. There are beautiful fresh flowers on the table. In short, everybody is busy except my cousins. They aren’t helping much — they’re playing computer games.
I must go now. See you Monday.
Eric
