How to Make Your Birthday Meaningful
The birthday is very important to us. Do you want to make your birthday meaningful? Here are five good ways.

It is good to spend this special day with your family and friends. They are the people who are very close to you, and they are also the most important people in your life. The love from them will make you feel happy and warm.
2.
You can keep a diary, take a photo with your family and friends, or even take a video to mark the day. In this way, you can always remember the fun times on your birthdays.
3.
It is your parents who give you life. And when you have problems, your parents are always there to help you. They try their best to make you live a happy life. So on your birthday, don’t forget to say thanks to your parents, especially(尤其) your mother.

If you want to do something special, why not try to help others who need help? You can visit the sick children in the hospital or give some gifts to those kids who don’t have parents. Giving is always happier than receiving(接受).
