Whether celebrating birthdays is a waste

1. Are birthday parties commonly celebrated by most people in your country?

According to my knowledge, the majority of people in my country merely celebrate with a small gathering of their friends or family, while lavish celebrations are only for the wealthy. However, from my perspective, it isn’t necessary to celebrate a sizable party to commemorate your birthday. I perceive it as being conceited and boastful.

• Merely (adv): thường thường, đơn thuần
• Lavish celebration: Bữa tiệc xa hoa
• The wealthy (n): Người giàu có
• A sizable party: Một bữa tiệc lớn
• Commemorate (v): kỷ niệm
• Perceive (v): Cho rằng

• Boastful (a): Khoe khoang

2. Do you believe celebrating birthday parties is a waste of time?

I don’t agree with that opinion. Celebrating birthday parties means that we can express our gratitude to those who are important to us, such as the spouse or the friend holding a birthday celebration. Celebrations allow us to reconnect with long-distance friends or bring extended families together. A wonderful method to maintain contact with family and friends and to foster cohesion among visitors is to celebrate together.

• Spouse (n): Vợ/ chồng
• Long-distance (a): Ở xa
• Extended family (n): Đại gia đình
• Foster cohesion: Thúc đẩy sự gắn kết
