Speaking exercise

I want to be laid off, because I can get some money.

I had been worked for 3 or 4 days until 12 o’clock in the morning last week, because my leader of my last company asked me to help them with some design work. I need to design some offline printing materials like poster, name cards, etc. I finished it last weekend, and on Sunday, I have a friend who was her birthday, then I bought a birthday cake which look like a lot of money on the cake. It just looks good but it tastes awful. We ate one piece of cake and then leave it in the restaurant. I always just give them cash because I don’t want to think of the present. I will give them the number of my birthday date. I think giving a present to other people is difficult because in many situations, people can’t get the present which they really want. I don’t hold a birthday party, so I don’t have this present. I just told them don’t buy me gifts, I don’t want have a birthday party. I think it’s easy for us because you don’t have to think a present.

This year, I decide present for everyone because I saw a movie again. I think you have a present which is your best friend bought, it’s a good thing when a lot of years later. It’s truly a difficult thing.
