题目内容:
Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate (庆祝) their birthday in different ways. Now here are the four people from different countries. They will tell you how they celebrate their birthday in their countries.
Sandy Morison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, “My twenty-first birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ears 21 times, one for each year. It’s an old custom(习俗). Some people pull on my ear just once, but my friends are very traditional(传统的).”
Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki-it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mr. Sato says, “What am I going to give my husband? I can’t say. It’s a surprise!”
Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It’s a special birthday, so we’re going to have a family party. I’m probably going to get some money in ‘lucky’ envelopes(信封)from my relatives(亲属). My mother is going to cook noodles—noodles are for a long life.
Philips Evan, from Paris, smiles to us, “I’m going to be 30 next week, so I’m going to ask three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often ask people out. In some countries, I know it’s the opposite –people take you out.
