My name is Asya and I’m thirteen years old. I’d like to tell you about the presents that I have once got and about the present which I wish to receive for my fourteenth birthday.
First of all, I should mention that I like presents a lot and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I like getting presents for my birthday, for some special holidays and occasions. My dad buys me some small presents even when I simply do better progress at school. However, my birthday is the most important occasion for valuable presents. Last year, my parents bought a new cell phone for me and it was just the brand I wanted to have.
This year I have a new wish. I’d like them to buy me a new bike, as my old one has worn out brake pads. The bike which I want isn’t cheap at all, but it’s worth it. Although it costs as much as two new cell phones, I know that my dad would buy it for me. He is also an amateur cyclist and he knows that a good bike can last through years of hard use. I have already found one bike which would be suitable for me. It’s of my favourite green colour with yellow handles. If I had enough money, I would buy it straight away. My dad doesn’t know yet which present I want to get for my birthday, but my mum does. She knows even the store where my dream bike is on sale.
Apart from that, I’d like to get a pair of nice sports shoes, as I often play with my friends outside. And the last but not the least, there is a new schoolbag on my list. One of the presents I’d like to get for my birthday is a new convenient bag. The one I have now is worn out and unattractive. I expect to get this present from my uncle and aunt.
