Answer 1

不唯一
Dear Peter,
Nice to hear from you. I’m glad to know that you are doing a project and I’d very much like to help you. Chinese teenagers celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Some teenagers celebrate their birthdays at home or at restaurant. Usually the birthday person’s parents arrange the family gatherings. Another way is that the birthday person holds a party, inviting his or her friends to have fun drinking, singing and dancing together. A birthday cake is something that can not be spared. On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents.
In my opinion, one’s birthday celebration should be done in more meaningful ways. For example, we can buy some flowers, cook a delicious meal or do some housework for our parents to express our thanks to them for giving us lives and bringing us up.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
