A. Last Saturday evening Betty had a birthday party at her house. It was a fancy dress party and everybody had the time of their lives!

Betty and her sister had spent the previous day decorating their living room with balloons, streamers and coloured lights, and their mother had made an enormous birthday cake.

The guests started arriving at about eight o’clock, and Betty put on some disco music so that everyone could dance. I was wearing a clown costume with my brother’s big shoes and a curly red wig. I had painted my face all white with a big red smiling mouth and a red plastic nose, but I became so hot while dancing that all my make-up started running down my face! We also played exciting games, and then sat down to eat pizza and Betty’s delicious birthday cake.

The entire evening was a huge success and everyone agreed that it was a lot of fun. I think we will remember Betty’s party for a long time to come!
