No próximo fim de semana, vamos celebrar o aniversário da minha irmã. O evento ficou marcado o dia 15 de maio. Será sábado. Na verdade, minha irmã nasceu 14 maio 1990, mas não quisemos fazer a festa sexta-feira, porque minha irmã geralmente trabalha sábados de manhã. Vamos nos divertir muito! Espero te ver lá!
