Tom’s family was holding a large evening party. It was to celebrate Tom’s thirteenth birthday. At about six o’clock, the doorbell rang. Jim, Tom’s best friend, arrived with a big birthday gift. Tom opened it in front of Jim and thanked him for the gift. When he opened the box, he got a big surprise. It was a toy robot. Tom always wanted to buy a toy robot, and now his dream was realized. He was both excited at the gift and grateful(感激的) to Jim. Jim was happy, too. He knew what Tom liked best. Mike, Tom’s another friend, was a bit late for the party. It was because of the heavy traffic. After all the guests arrived, the big dinner started. The boys chatted, sang, and enjoyed the happy time. Tom was especially happy with so many good friends around. He wished that he could have such a party again when he was to celebrate his fourteenth birthday.
