Peter’s Birthday Present

Peter is an English teacher who lives in Tokyo. Tomorrow is his son's birthday, and he has to buy him a present. His son's name is Simon. Simon will be three years old. Simon wants a bicycle for his birthday present. After he finishes his breakfast, Peter is going to take a shower and get dressed. Last week, he saw a kid’s bicycle at a department store in Shinjuku, so he's going to go there to buy it. First, he's going to drive to the train station. He's going to take the train at Shinjuku station then he’s going to walk to the department store.

Peter hopes the bicycle is still there. If it's still there, he's going to buy it. The bicycle is quite big and Peter can't carry it home on the train, so he's going to ask the shop assistant to send it to his house by delivery service. After he leaves the department store, Peter is going to go to his school in Ikebukuro. Today is a very busy day at his school, and Peter is going to teach five lessons.
