American children like to celebrate their birthdays. They usually celebrate them with a party. They ask their friends to their parties. They don’t have parties on the right dates of their birthdays if they come on a school day. They may hold (举办) it at the weekend.
Today many children like two kinds of parties. One is at home. Parents decorate the house with balloons and coloured paper. They make a special birthday dinner. The children play games. The other is away from home. Some are at a special restaurant. The children eat pizza and ice cream. The waiters also sing and say happy birthday to the children. Some are at a park, or at a cinema, or in some other places.
There is a cake with candles (蜡烛) at every birthday party. When the candles are lighted (点燃), everyone sings the special birthday song Happy Birthday.
Many people don’t have birthday parties when they are not young. They say they would like to forget how old they are. But they do like to keep the happy birthday parties of their childhood in mind (记忆).
