Dear Li Wen,
Thank you for your letter.It is a pleasure to hear from you again.In your letter, you told me that you had so many friends that you had to take part in a birthday party every few weeks.I think it is 1 to have or take part in one's birthday party.However, as a student, it is not good to spend 2 time and money on it.I know now that 3 birthday is in a few weeks' time.Since you said you were getting tired of 4 one's birthday in this way, perhaps it's 5 good chance to change it.You can invite your friends and have a simple party 6 a birthday cake, some drinks and fruits at home.You can 7 them you prefer some small but meaningful presents made by hands such as a(an) 8 , a bookmark and so on.After all(毕竟), the most expensive present may not be the 9 present, as friendship can't be bought with money.The presents 10 are made by your friends themselves might be kept in your mind forever.The party wouldn't last long.One hour should be enough, don't you think so?And I am sure you will have a good time on your birthday.
Best wishes to you and your friends!
