Dear Mike,
I know you like playing basketball very much, but you shouldn’t forget your friend’s birthday. She is angry with you because you didn’t go to her party. Since she didn’t answer your phone, you could buy her a gift and go to her house. You should explain why you didn’t go to the party and say sorry to her. I believe she will forgive you. In order not to make similar mistakes, you should write important things on a piece of paper.
Good Luck!
Nancy
