Is it traditional to have a birthday like this?

Teresa, Madrid, Spain

My twenty-first birthday was in April. I was really happy to go out with some friends. They pulled my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom(习俗). Some people do it only once, but my friends are very traditional! Sometimes it’s great to follow the custom. I even want them to do that on my sixtieth birthday!

Francisco, Paris, France

   I’m going to be 30 next Friday. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. I know that in some countries it’s the opposite---people take you out.

Lin Xiaohan, Taipei, China

   Yesterday was my sixteenth birthday. It was a special birthday, so we had a family dinner together. I was happy to get some money from my parents. My mother cooked noodles--- noodles are for a long life.

Mr. and Mrs. Brady, Manchester, Britain

   In Britain, we say, “Life begins at 40”. My husband is going to be 40 at the weekend. It’s a special birthday. I’d like to hold a big party for him with all our friends and family members, but we don’t want him to know that now. It’s going to be a surprise. What am I going to give my husband? I can’t say. That’s a surprise, too.
