Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Now here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.

Sandy comes from Madrid(马德里) . She says happily, “My 21st birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.”

Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki(花甲)—it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday.

Liu Mei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my 16th birthday. It’s a special birthday, so we’re going to have a family party. Maybe I will get some lucky money from my relatives(亲戚). My mother is going to cook noodles for a long life.”

Phillip, from Paris, smiles to us, “I’m going to be thirty next week, so I’m going to invite three very good friends out for dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out.”

Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate (庆祝) their birthday in different ways. Now here are the four people from different countries. They will tell you how they celebrate their birthday in their countries.

Sandy Morison comes from Madrid(马德里). He says happily, “My twenty-first birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ears 21 times, one for each year. It’s an old custom（习俗）. Some people pull on my ear just once, but my friends are very traditional（传统的）.”

Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki-it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday. Mr. Sato says, “What am I going to give my husband? I can’t say. It’s a surprise!”

Li Xiaomei from Beijing feels very excited and tells us, “Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It’s a special birthday, so we’re going to have a family party. I’m probably going to get some money in ‘lucky’ envelopes（信封）from my relatives（亲属）. My mother is going to cook noodles—noodles are for a long life.

Philips Evan, from Paris, smiles to us, “I’m going to be 30 next week, so I’m going to ask three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often ask people out. In some countries, I know it’s the opposite –people take you out.

We all know that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure (珍惜) every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious (珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return (回来). So, some of us even say time is priceless.

We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should work hard in order to make our own future better. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do what we can to do everything as well as possible. And never put off what we can do today till tomorrow.

As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret (后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause(原因) of tomorrow’s harvest.
