Reading Practice A. Read the passage. A Fun Party Hi, Grace! What are you doing? I'm looking at pictures from the party years ago. I was a princess, and you were a prince. I have some great memories of that party, but I can't remember what we were celebrating. It was my 4th" birthday. It is my family's tradition to dress up in special clothes on our birthdays. That's right. We created a lot of unique games. I liked the one where we threw a ball through a hole in a board. It was especially hard when we added the thick scarf. We used it to cover our eyes. I felt like I was blind. That was fun. I love spending time with my friends. Yes, you are very social!
