Письмо другу про денек рождения на английском

Dear Nick,  

Hi! Thank you for your letter. I like birthday parties. My birthday is on 8th of January. I prefer to celebrate my birthday actively. As it is in winter, my friends and I go skiing or skating, we have a funny time there. Then we also have a big birthday party with different entertainments, dances and photos. Sometimes we have theme parties, it is memorable for everybody. We always shoot the fireworks in the evening. It is amazing. Of course, I like useful presents, and I would like to get a new camera for my next birthday. But also I like surprises.  

Best wishes,

Alex
