Video and Questions [1 exercises] 'Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you...' A child's first birthday is an occasion for the parents to remember the birth that took place twelve months ago. It's only when they're older that children enjoy their birthday parties. Before opening the presents, they blow out the candles. Parents explain that the tradition is to make a wish at the same time. Just keep it secret and it will come true. Isn't it a great day for inviting friends over? First of all, you have to get everything ready: buy paper plates, paper napkins, hats, drinks - and don't forget to make a nice cake. Birthdays are celebrated with family, but also among friends. Just as well: the more guests there are, the more presents there will be! Copyright 2003-2004 Auralog S.A. All rights reserved Page 21/23

At a children's birthday party, staying seated like grownups is out of the question. It's an opportunity to have fun and play games like Hide and Seek, Simon Says, and Tag. The more the merrier! If there's a large backyard, it's the ideal place for a treasure hunt. Each team has to find clues that lead to Blackbeard's treasure chest. He's the wildest of all pirates. These children are taking the game seriously: they even got dressed up! For children who don't have a backyard or an imaginary ocean with very rich and very nasty pirates, there are still clowns and magicians to liven things up! It's a tough job getting custard pies thrown at you all day long! Isn't that right, Mister Clown? It's easy to find ideas for children's presents. They want toys and video games. An adult's birthday is different. Friends give presents, but the choosing is more difficult. Instead of toys, adults get jewelry, clothes or knickknacks. Fortunately, most stores allow you to exchange presents you don't like! Go ahead, Madam, open it - the present isn't just that nice box with ribbons! And how do adults have fun? They either invite their friends over for dinner, or they meet in a bar to have a drink before going to a restaurant. And since it's your birthday, you're king for the evening! After dinner, you can go to a nightclub and dance until dawn. When you're young, evenings that go on until the wee hours of the morning don't frighten you. As you get older, however, you might find the music a little bit too loud! If you find the day after difficult, imagine how the Queen of England feels: she has two birthdays a year! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Quick! Aspirin! 1 What is the most appropriate title for this video?
