My birthday is on 13th May. 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?

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?

I think it’s a good idea to spend time with your family on your birthday. My birthday is on 16th March. I usually go to my favourite local restaurant to celebrate it. I do this because I like to sit around a big table with my family and enjoy the food together. But this year, I want to do something meaningful on my birthday. I want to save up some money and donate it to a library. The library can use the money to buy books for children. It will be a nice way to help others and make my birthday even more special.
