I haven't had a surprise party.
I celebrate my birthday with my family and friends at home or at a restaurant.
I have never had surprise party. I celebrate my birthday wiht my friends in cafe usually.
No, I didn't. I usually celebreate my birthday with my family and my friends. I often celebreate on two days: One with my family and one with my friends. We make the birthday party at home, or we go to a indoor playground. It often makes fun there.
Birthday party is one of the most important celebraition in my country because most of the families are very happy that their kids are here in this world.
Wow that's awesome! But so different from my country. People here just don't care about birthday party, I guess.
No, i haven’t. I never had a surprise party. I usually celebrate my birthday with my family and friends. I like to hang out with my friends to celebrate my birthday because usually I celebrate in my home with my family. But actually I like the party’s.
No, birthday party isn't popular here. Not many people celebrate it. When you're 9 years old or older no one will care about it so much. Maybe some of your closest friends will congratulate you, but they won't give you any present.
That's very intresting. It's a nice datum.
I know. How about in your country? What kind of birthday party do you have there?
Maybe yes, but more when I was younger. Usually my birthdays are celebrated in my house with my family and some relatives, but not with many people. I prefere it like that. Sometimes we have barbecue, and at night we eat cake and some sweets, we try to do as many things as possible, and preferible things outside. It's very nice, and I am very apricieted for all the effort that they do for me, in my birthday and in the rest of the year.
It must be very nice to do those fun things with your family! :)
I didn't remember about I had a suprise birthday party or I didn't. I don't celebrate my birthay party with party or with all of my friends.We celebrate it with my family. Just me, my mom and dad, and my two brothers. My father buys a little birthday cake and we eat it together. That's enough for me. No need to big parties.
Yes, always we make a party in my house with my friends and Family, and then we buy a cake and for finish we go to the cinema.
I like to do that and I wish to have more opportunities for have a good party and :)
I usually going to a restaurant with my all family and I get lots of presents.

No, I haven’t had a surprise for my birthday party. Always I celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend and my friends and my family, we go to a cafe or my house.
Yes, I have. I don't usually celebrate my birthday but I had a surprise birthday party from my colleagues last year. In the morning on that day, everybody only gave me congratulations and they continued with their works. But by the end of the day, they gathered around my desk, sang "Happy birthday to you" and clapped hands, then brought out an adorable chocolate cake. I blew candles, made wishes, unwrapped all presents. After that, we came to a cozy restaurant to have dinner, and chat with each other. It was a happy party, we all had a lot of unforgettable memory.
