many things together. I like going to the national celebration.But the best thing in autumn is my birthday. It’s in October. I will be 15 years old.

Thank you for your e-mail! I love autumn too. In Canada, we have an autumn holiday called Thanksgiving Day. Family members always celebrate it together. I will go to

Canadian Thanksgiving Day is in early October. In the USA, they celebrate Thanksgiving Day in late November.
Have a good time on your birthday, Li Ming! On my birthday, I have a cake with candles. Everyone sings the song ‘Happy Birthday’. Then I blow out the candles! Will you have a cake for your birthday?
Your friend,
Jenny
