We should help 【英语 第5 页(共8页)】 ·25-CZ31b· each other, right?” I had a good dinner at Mrs. Wang's home, and what she said made me feel warmer in my heart.

Last year, my good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. At his party I saw my first pinata(彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling(天花板). Carlos hit(打) the pinata. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun! Carlos's birthday party also got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays. Do you know that in Vietnam kids do not celebrate on birthdays? Instead(相反地), on New Year's Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes(信封) with lucky money in them. In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now“unlock the door to their future life”. In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. But in Italy, adults(成年人) pull children's ears— one pull for each year. My friend Carlos also helps me to know more in many other ways. Do you have such an experience with your friends?
