    Children all over the world like to celebrate their birthday.

    They usually have a party and i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their friends to join the celebration. The party may not be held on the exact date of their birthday if it comes on a school day. It may be held on the closest weekend instead.

    Two kinds of parties are the most p{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. One is held at home, Parents prepare a s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} birthday meal for their children. The other is held away from home. It may at restaurant, a park, movie theater or some other places

    There is a birthday c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} with candles on that day. Each candle means each year of a birthday boy or girl's age.

    As children grow older, their birthday parties change. In f{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, many people stop having parties now. They say they would like to forget their age.
