Dear Peter,
Hi, long time no see. How have you been now? I wish you and your families are all well. As I know your
little sister’s birthday is coming and you want to hold a party for her but have no idea . Here I am, I will
help to give some advice, given that I already held such parties like this for my family members and
lucklily they were all great.
I think you should throw the party in secret. More specific, your family should stand in with together to
pretend to forget her birthday and then give her a surprise. In my opinion, the party should be taken place
at home which is cozy and meaningful as opposed to some places such as restaurants which sometimes
have a lot of noise and maybe interfere by others. Also, you should buy many candies, fruits, drinks,
especially a pink birthday cake for her, as I think children always love sweet. Then , you should never
forget about present, I think that’s is the thing that she most expect to have in her birthday. You can
consider some present suggestion I have here is teddy bear, a cute dress or a diary note. Last but not least,
you should invite her best friends to come to her birthday and then everyone together sing happy birthday
song to her.
That’s some advice i have and please help me to give my regards to your little sister. I am looking forward
to hearing from you that these advice will be helpful to some extent.
Best wishes

In this day and age, many city-dwellers prefer living alone or in a nuclear family to living
in a big, extended one. In my opinion, this is a negative development since it has bearings
on each family members.
To commence with, the preference for living alone can affect negatively on people’ mental
life. This is because family is a source of support and comfort, hence the lacking it will
bring about many mental illnesses such as stress or autism since they do not have people to
share sorrows and happiness. In this case Japan is a salient example where many people
choose to live alone rather than having a family. As a result, according to a report, most of
these people are prone to getting depression when being old and end up in living in nursing
home.
Similarly, the option to live in nuclear family also engender some drawbacks. Firstly, it is
something that relates to morality. In other words, when our parents sacrifice time and
youth to raise us, we must have responsibilty to take care of them when they are old by
spending time being with them rather than just sending them to nursing house which may
them feel alone. Secondly, Living in nuclear family can put a economic strain on people.
When children adult begin working and move out their parent’s house which means they
need to spend a large amount of money to buy or rent house. If they continue to live with
their parents, they also can help them to take care of their young children, therefore they
can cut back on the expense spending on childcares and have more time to focus on
working.
In conclusion, I am of opinion that the opion to live alone or in small family blocks both
have a disadvantage related to mental health and financial problems. It is advisbale that
people should live in large and extented family so get moral support and financial share.
