2. Reading and writingDear Diary, 28, June I thought today was going to be really bad. To start with, it was raining, and rainy days make me sad. And it was my birthday, but when I got up, no one was at home, and Mom and Dad hadn’t left me a note. I walked to school with my best friend, Gu. She didn’t say anything either. This made me a little angry. After all, I remembered her birthday last month. In class, the teacher asked me for my homework, but as I was so tense when I left home, I had forgotten to bring it with me. That made me annoyed with myself. But things got better. Gu invited me for lunch. I was so surprised. Mon and Dad and all my friends were there. I had a wonderful surprise birthday lunch. That made me VERY happy.
