4 . Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Now here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.
Sandy comes from Madrid (马德里). She says happily, “My 21st birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.”
Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki (花甲)—it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday.
LiuMei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my 16th birthday. It’s a special birthday, so we’re going to have a family party. Maybe I will get some lucky money from my relatives (亲戚). My mother is going to cook noodles for a long life.”

Of course, you should thank your teachers for giving you so much knowledge. Teachers’ Day is the best time for students around the world to thank their teachers.

5. 在中国,教师节是在9月10日。But in the US, teachers have a whole week to celebrate. Teacher Appreciation (感谢) Week is in the first full week of May every year. Once kids brought apples for their teachers because apples are healthy. Now they bring gifts with pictures of apples, such as mugs (马克杯). During the week, school clubs often offer teachers free breakfast or a cup of coffee or fruit.
