  Children all over the world like to celebrate their birthdays. American children are of no difference. They usually celebrate with a party. They invite their friends to their birthday parties. The party may not be held on the right date of their birthday if it comes on a school day. It may be held on the weekend instead.

  Today two kinds of parties are the most popular. One is held at home. Parents decorate the house beautiful with balloons and coloured paper. They prepare a special birthday meal. The children play games. The other kind is held away from home. Some are at a special restaurant. The children eat pizza and ice cream. The waiters , who serve the food, also sing and tell jokes to the children. Other parties may be held at a park, or at a movie theatre, or in some other places.

Every birthday party has a cake with candles on it. There is one candle for each year of a birthday boy’s or girl’s age. When the candles are lighted(点燃), everyone sings the special birthday song: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

As Americans grow older, their birthday parties change. In fact, many people stop having them. They say they would like to forget how old they are. Yet they do like to keep the happy birthday parties of their childhood in mind.

We saw the big yellow ox on a farm at last. The villagers told us that the ox was about 500 jin weight. “We can’t find out another ox like it in our hometown,” and old farmer said. The partner of the ox is Mr. Liu who comes from Guizhou. Mr. Liu comes here to make money. He told us he had worked with the ox on this farm for five years. The farm is very big, and the boss(老板) bought this ox from Taiwan. All the farm work was done by the ox, but now it can do some of them. “We must give the ox some wine to drink or he can’t work.” Mr. Liu said and took out a bottle of wine. When the ox saw the wine, he became very excited. A few minutes later, he drank up all the wine in the bottle. But the ox looked at the empty bottle and it seemed that it was not enough.

“I like drinking the wine,” Mr. Liu told us, “and I can drink two bottles.” We found the wine for the ox was better than that for Mr. Liu. “Why do you drink such bad wine?” we asked.
