On the first day of 2019, everyone was amazed. 1. Most of the students' birthdays are in January. Our teacher gave them birthday cards. The cards' covers were printed with a group photo of our class. 2. It was really sweet! Then, we sang a birthday song for the birthday kids. In addition, all of us got to share cream cakes, even if our birthdays weren't in January. I thought this was nice. 3. It's nice to have good friendships like this.
