different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their
birthdays in their countries.
Sandy Morrison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, " My twenty-first birthday is on a
Saturday, and I"m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to
pull(拉, 扯) on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It is an old custom(风俗). 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 sixty tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth
birthday is called Kanreki-it"s the beginning of a new life. The colour red is for a new life, so they
always, give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mrs. Sato says, " What am I going to give my
husband. I can"t say. It"s a surprise(惊喜). "
Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, " Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It"s a
special birthday. So we"re going to have a family party. I"m probably going to get some money in lucky
envelopes(信封) from my relatives. My mother is going to cook noodles noodles are for a long life."
Phillip Evans, from Paris, smiles to us, " I"m going to be thirty next week, so I"m going to invite three
very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often invite people out. In some
countries, I know it"s the opposite-people take you out."
1. Do people in different countries celebrate their birthdays in the same way?
2. Is Mr. Sato going to receive something red on his birthday?
3. What is Li Xiaomei going to do on her birthday?
4. How old is Phillip Evans going to be?
5. Who is going to take his friends out to dinner on his birthday?
they will not think us ill-mannered(没有礼貌的). Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do.
If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not
move before the host says" Come in, please." After you come into the room, you would not sit down until
the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a table before you or sent to your hand, you will say "thank you" and receive it with two hands, not one hand or they will think you are ill - mannered.
Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even
though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the
food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes
the drink or the food to show he has enjoyed it. That will make the host pleasant.
