By: Yu Xiaoming on 08/06 5:07 PM My birthday is on 13th June. On that day, I always eat birthday noodles with eggs. Long noodles are a symbol of long life. Every year, my family and I take a photo together under the big tree in our village. I like taking photos because they help me remember fun times with my family. This year, I want to plant a small tree for my 14th birthday. I’d like to watch it grow with me. When is your birthday How do you celebrate it

By: Judy Clark on 09/06 7:54 PM It’s a great idea to plant a tree for your birthday! My birthday is on 28th July. I usually have a party with my friends to celebrate. My mother always makes my favourite chocolate cake. Everyone sings the “Happy Birthday” song, and then I make a wish and blow out the candles. Next, we enjoy the cake, and I open all my gifts. My father marks my height on the door every year. It’s fun to look at the marks later. Next time, I also want to do something different. Any good ideas

How differently do people celebrate birthdays in China and in western countries
For a child’s first birthday, red-dyed eggs are given to guests for good luck and happiness.
Usually Chinese people eat long noodles for a long life.
For old people, family usually prepare steamed buns, often shaped like peaches (a symbol of long life).
in China
in western countries
In western countries, people usually have birthday cakes，make a wish, then blow out candles and open birthday gifts. But there are some unique traditions in different countries. For example, in Denmark, people fly a Danish flag (国旗) outside the home to signal a birthday celebration. And in Australia, people eat fairy bread(仙女面包) on their birthdays.
Think and share
It’s a big and special day for the baby and his/ her mum.
It marks the beginning of a new year or even a new stage in our lives.
It’s a great chance to get together with the family and friends.
We celebrate birthdays because we love and care about the birthday person.
Every birthday is a gift of life.
Why do we celebrate birthdays

We will prepare a big birthday cake, some chocolate, juice and fruit. At the party, we will sing “Happy Birthday” song , blow out the candles and eat the cake. Inside the cake, there are some coins. Anyone who gets the coin will make a toast or sing or dance for the birthday persons. Then we will have lunch and play games together. All of us will have a good time.
