Carol just celebrated her twentieth birthday. On the day of her birthday, she went out to lunch with her best friend Tina. Carol had planned to spend a quiet evening at home by herself. She didn't want to have a party, but Tina talked her into having her friends and parents over. After lunch, Carol went back to work. Her boss wished her a happy birthday and gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. When she got off work, she called up a few of her friends and invited them over to celebrate. Her father and mother stopped by before all of the other guests were supposed to come. Her mother baked a cake and her father cooked dinner. Carol just sat on her comfortable sofa and watched them. In the end, it was the best birthday she had ever had.

語(yǔ)法重點(diǎn)

1. 介紹動(dòng)詞talk, say 及 speak 的用法
