<\/a>A very Chinese cake.<\/p><\/div>\n
Your birthday<\/strong> (\u751f\u65e5 – sh\u0113ng r\u00ec) comes but once a year, and it gives you a chance to celebrate with family and friends as you get one year older.\u00a0 Many people like to have a birthday party<\/strong> (\u751f\u65e5\u6d3e\u5bf9 – sh\u0113ng r\u00ec p\u00e0i du\u00ec) or simply have a casual get-together<\/strong> (\u805a\u4f1a – j\u00f9 hu\u00ec) in a restaurant or bar. If you’re having a party, you’ll need to think about who to invite<\/strong> (\u9080\u8bf7 – y\u0101o q\u01d0ng).\u00a0 Of course, if you’re attending a party, you should probably buy a gift<\/strong> (\u793c\u7269 – l\u01d0 w\u00f9) or at least a birthday card<\/strong> (\u751f\u65e5\u5361 – sh\u0113ng r\u00ec k\u01ce).\u00a0 For the party, you also probably want to buy some balloons<\/strong> (\u6c14\u7403 – q\u00ec qi\u00fa) and the all-important birthday cake<\/strong> (\u751f\u65e5\u86cb\u7cd5 – sh\u0113ng r\u00ec d\u00e0n g\u0101o).\u00a0 The birthday boy or girl should blow out the candles<\/strong> (\u5439\u8721\u70db – chu\u012b l\u00e0 zh\u00fa) on the cake while others sing “Happy Birthday.”\u00a0 In Chinese, it goes something like this…<\/p>\nWish to you a happy birthday<\/h2>\n\u795d\u4f60\u751f\u65e5\u5feb\u4e50 – zh\u00f9 n\u01d0 sh\u0113ng r\u00ec ku\u00e0i l\u00e8<\/h2>\n
