Is it traditional to have a birthday like this?
Teresa, Madrid, Spain
My twenty - first birthday was in April. I was really happy to go out with some friends. They pulled my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom. I even want them to do that on my sixtieth birthday!
Francisco, Paris, France
I’m going to be 30 next Friday. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. I know that in some countries it’s the opposite - people take you out.
Lin Xiaohan, Shanghai, China
Yesterday was my sixteenth birthday. It was a special birthday. We had a family dinner together. I was happy to get some money from my parents. My mother cooked noodles - noodles are for a long life.
Mr and Mrs Brady, Manchester, Britain
In Britain, we say, “Life begins at 40.” My husband is going to be 40 this weekend. I’d like to hold a big party for him with all of our friends and family members, but we don’t want him to know that now. It’s going to be a surprise.
