Carrie is now living in Bejjing. She came to China at the age of 7. When She came, she wasn't very happy. Then all the teachers and her classmates were very kind to her and helped her.
Now she can speak Chinese very well, but five years ago, when she first came, she could only speak it a little. She can perform Chinese kung fu a little now, but she couldn't do it last year.
Yesterday was her birthday. She celebrated it with her classmates at home. Carrie's friends gave her many presents like flowers and cards, and she bought a big cake and lots of drinks for the party. They danced to music, sang songs and played games. Carrie sang a Chinese song and everyone liked it very much. All of them had a great time last night.
