Meg likes birthdays
In my daughter's class, when a student is on his birthday, all other students sing “happy birthday” for him. Meg’s birthday is on summer holidays, so she misses this celebration. However, one day she came back home from her school and happily told me, that all her classmates song the “birthday song” for her. I’m surprised and answered, “but today is not your birthday!” she said, “it is!---according the lunar calendar. I’ve already check it.”
On my husband’s birthday I asked him whether he’d like a birthday cake. He said, “Don’t bother! I'd like noodles. It will make me a long life.” it is a traditional superstition---long noodles symbolize a long life. Hearing that, Meg said, “Oh, Dad, you should eat a birthday cake. Everyone should eat birthday cake on his birthday!” then she hurried to school. Before leaving, she said, “ Mum, you should persuade him to have a cake. Fruit flavor is the best. ” My husband said to me in a low voice, “She wanted to eat some cake!” She did! At this night she ate all the fruit on the top of the cake and a big piece of the cake.
In deed, we don’t have to pass the test for keeping a dog. But we should get the license to show our dog have been got an injection to prevent hydrophobia.
It is the first time I know that in the UK people have TV license. We are required to have driver license and motorcycle license. Recently we are also required to have electric bike license. But lots of people still don’t have.
They don’t think the licenses are important except for driver license.
Work is the way people exchange their ability and labor with other people, so there is no honorable(high place) work or mean(low place) work. Therefore, works cannot be distinguished as honourable and mean, can they?
Thanks for your encourage! Lewis.
Thanks for all commends!

Hey Jenny, I like birthdays as well. It is a great time to celebrate another person's life, give presents, and eat yummy treats. Like your husband, I prefer to have something other than cake on my birthday, but if I had to have cake, I would want an ice cream cake. My favorite thing is cherry pie. However, there is no superstition behind eating pie over cake in my family.
Most people eat seaweed soup on their birthday but peole who are invited to a wedding eat long noodles in Korea.They are traditional in korea but honesly don't know why.there are two main cakes in uk.one of them is made from dried fruits.many people make or eat a fruit cake on their wedding day or at christmas.the cake's taste is very rich and strong compared to a sponge cake.of course a sponge cake is very popular for a birthday party. bye!!!!!!!!
Hi Jenny! I can perfectly understand Meg's happines because of having herard the Birthday song from her classmates. My birthday is also during the summer break, so I never had any special activity at school. At any pupil's birthday, we would sing that song and the student would bring candies for everyone in the class. Somehow that was a kind of social recognition when you were under 10. For one day, you became the important person in the class, and above other reasons (even the present themselves), this was crucial for me to desire this special day. As you grow older, of course, you may want to forget the past of the time, but I will never forget how unhappy I felt for not having "my" special day. Be sure that Meg's gets her Birthday song, no matter whether in regular or Lunar Calenday. Having cakes at that days also helps a lot!! Bye!
