๐Celebrating Your Birthday in America
๋ฏธ๊ตญ์์ ์์ผ ์ถํํ๊ธฐ
Although America is full of many different cultures and traditions, I think most people really enjoy celebrating their birthdays. The big birthdays that we celebrate are the 1st, 16th, 18th, and 21st birthdays. Of course, most people have a party every year.

At a typical birthday party, people will gather either at someoneโs house or a location, like a restaurant or park. Two of the most important things about a birthday party are bringing presents for the birthday boy or girl and eating cake. People either bake cakes at home or buy a custom cake from a bakery.

When itโs time for cake, everyone gathers around and sings โHappy Birthday.โ After the song, the birthday person makes a wish and blows out the candles. Traditionally, the number of candles should match your age (e.g., 16 candles for your 16th birthday).

The 1st birthday is important because it celebrates the babyโs first successful year of life. In America, you can start driving at 16, so many people consider it a milestone birthday. If your family is well-off, they might even buy you a car.

You become an adult on your 18th birthday, so itโs also a pretty big deal. The next big birthday is your 21st birthday because thatโs when you can start drinking. People usually go out to the bars with their friends. A lot of bars offer free shots on your 21st birthday.

After that, people tend to have a big celebration every ten years, such as on their 30th, 40th, and 50th birthdays. Remember that if youโre ever invited to an American birthday party, you should bring a present and prepare to pay for the birthday boy or girlโs dinner!
