2. What are you planning to do for your birthday?
Will your friends give you presents; or will older
relatives give you money?
What about a birthday cake with candles?
In most countries, a person's birthday is a cause for
celebration.
In many western countries, people give birthday
cards and presents to someone on their birthday,
and there is often a party with a cake.
In Mexico and other countries in Latin America, there
is a big celebration for a girl's fifteenth birthday,
called a quinceañera.
In a traditional Mexican quinceañera celebration, the
birthday girl wears a ball gown and a tiara.
There is a special church service and then a
reception party, where the girl dances a traditional
waltz
with her father.
Then there is a large dinner, and lots more music and
dancing.
In Ghana, breakfast is an important part of a bithday
celebration.
This special birthday dish is called oto and it is made
with mashed yam and onion-flavored oil.
Many people in Ghana make a large a bowl of oto
and invite their friends and falily to come and
share it with them on the morning of their birthday.
Later on in the day, there is usually a birthday party
with lots more and drink.
People eat stew and rice, and a special dish called
kelewele.
it is made with plantains; they are fried and mixed
with spices.
But having a special party on the day you were born
is not common in very country.
in Vietman, most people do not celebrate on the date
of their birth at all.
In fact, it is traditional to celebrate everyone's birtday
on the same day: New Year's Day, or Tet, in
Vietnamese.
On the morning of the first day of the new year,
everyone celebrates becoming a year older together.
Families gather and people give children money in
red envelopes.
This money is called "lucky money," and the children
can spend it as they wish - usually on toys.
People decorate their house with a special New Year
tree that is covered with good-luck charms.
In Vietnam, many people like to watch fireworks at
New Year and the biggest fireworks displays are
shown on the television.
All over the world, people celebrate becoming older in
different ways and with their own special
customs and traditions.
But these celebrations all have some things in
common. they all wish for good luck in the coming
year, and there is always plenty of food for everyone
to enjoy.

7. A friend of mine is in this band the magicians. They just
finished their new album and they had a party at a hotel to
celebrate. The party started at 8, so when I got there
around 9:30, the police was already crowded. There were
speeches from the record company an hour before I
arrived, so I missed those. The atmosphere was pretty
relaxed and there was soft music playing. It wasn't a
typical rock star event. The band played a song on stage
and then people from the media asked some questions
about their new album. Apparently a famous actor arrived
around 11, but I didn't see him. I laughed at 11:30. I was
exhausted.
Un amigo mio esta en esta banda los magos. Acababan de
terminar su nuevo álbum y tuvieron una fiesta en un hotel
para celebrar. La fiesta empezaba a las 8, así que cuando
llegué a eso de las 9:30, la policía ya estaba abarrotada.
Hubo discursos de la compañía discográfica una hora antes
de que yo llegara, así que me los perdí. El ambiente era
bastante relajado y había música suave. No fue un evento
típico de una estrella de rock. La banda tocó una canción en
el escenario y luego la gente de los medios hizo algunas
preguntas sobre su nuevo álbum. Al parecer, un actor famoso
llegó alrededor de las 11, pero no lo vi. Me reí a las 11:30.
Yo estaba agotado.

From Kerry
Subject: Nathan's party
Hi, Sara,
How are you? Sorry you missed Nathan's party. It was really fun and we had
a great time! There were about a hundred guests. Nathan invited everyone
from our class. His house isn't very big, and it was crowed with so many
people. That morning, some of us helped Nathan decorate his place. It
looked fantastic! In the evening, I brought chips and other snacks and
Charlie brought something to drink. Nathan and two of his friends had
guitars, so we had live music to start. Later, we all danced. One of the
neighbors got mad because the music was too loud! I got Nathan a great
gift for his birthday-a CD of Spanish guitar music. He relaxed it after we
finished dancing, and played there was a really relaxed atmosphere. I hope
you can come next time.
Lots of love,
Kerry
