A. It is Lisa’s birthday. She is seven years old today, and her family and
friends are at her birthday party. On the table is the birthday cake with
seven candles, one for each year. People sing “Happy Birthday” to
Lisa:
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Lisa!
Happy birhthday to you!
When they finish singing, Lisa blows out the candles on the cake. Then
everybody eats cake and ice-cream. After that, Lisa opens her birthday
cards and presents. Her family and friends give her toys and clothes for
her birthday.
In the United States, people of all ages celebrate birthdays. But when an

adult has a birthday, there are not a lot of candles on the birthday cake.
Many Americans over the age of 30 don’t like to talk about their age.
Some people joke every year, “I’m 29 years old today.” Perhaps they
do not want to get any older.

B. Rosa and Luis are having a party, too. But it is not a birthday party.
It’s an anniversary party. Fifty years ago, Rosa and Luis got married.
Today their family and friends are giving them a party. Everyone eats
some cake and says “Happy Anniversary!” to Rosa and Luis. People
also give cards and gifts to the anniversary couple. Most married
couples in the United States celebrate wedding anniversaries each
year. Husbands and wives give flowers or gifts to each other. They
often have a quiet dinner at home or at a restaurant. They usually
don’t have a big party.
But the 25
th
and the 50
th
wedding anniversaries are special. People call
25
th
the “silver anniversary” and the 50
th
the “golden anniversary.”
These anniversaries mark the milestones of a happy and lasting
relationship between married couples. Rosa and Luis are happy to be
together for their golden anniversary
