My good friend Carlos invited me to his birthday party. He moved to Canada from Mexico when he was a baby, but his parents tried to follow some of the Mexican traditions. At his party, I saw my first pinata (彩盒). It looked like an animal and was full of candies. People put it on the ceiling (天花板). Carlos hit (打) the pinata until it broke. All the candies fell on the floor, and we had a great time eating candies. Everyone shared. It was fun!
Carlos's birthday party got me thinking about how kids in other places celebrate birthdays.
Do you know that in Vietnam, everyone's birthday is on the same day? Kids do not celebrate on birthdays. Instead, on New Year's Day, all the kids celebrate their birthdays. Parents give kids red envelopes (信封) with lucky money in them. What a great way to celebrate birthdays!
In South Africa, kids do not celebrate every birthday. However, on their 21st birthday, their parents make a key. It can be made of paper or wood. Parents give their child this key. It is a sign from the parents that the child can now "unlock the door to their future life".
In Japan, children get a new set of clothes on their birthdays. While in Italy, adults (成年人) pull children's ears—one pull for each year. In Denmark, a flag flies outside the window of a house where a child is having a birthday. When the child is asleep, adults put presents all around the child's bed.
You can learn a lot in a club. After you join a club, you can know how to play basketball, how to cook or how to speak English. These new things make you better. Also, good chances like a basketball match, a music festival or an English show, are easy to get when you are in a club.
In a club, you can meet new people and make friends with them. Then, you can play games and have a great time with them. They can be your teachers too, and you can get new things from them.
At last, joining a club makes you busy. You always have things to do, so your life will be quite interesting.
