题目内容
【题目】 A birthday is always a special celebration. It’s important to enjoy yourself because it’s the day out of the year that belongs to you. 【1】.
Plan a get-together
【2】. On your birthday, it’s important to spend time with those who will put a smile on your face. If you don’t have time to send out invitations, casually invite your guests over the phone at least a week in advance. Make sure they understand that it’s not a big formal dinner, but rather a casual get-together. 【3】. And you would love them to spend time with you on your birthday. If you aren’t in the mood to cook a big dinner, make reservations at your favorite restaurant.

Day trips are a wonderful birthday activity for those with a busy lifestyle. A week before the date, look into places around you that you’ve always wanted to visit. It may be a city, a rural countryside or a mountain resort. Regardless, it should be a place where you can relax and get away from your busy lifestyle. You can invite a few friends along, or just take the trip yourself.
Spoil yourself
On your birthday, it’s perfectly understandable to be a little selfish. Treating yourself on your birthday is the best gift you can give yourself after being financially responsible all year long. 【5】.
