A persons birthday is the date when they were born.
We use the word anniversary for the date when two people got married , or the date when something special or important happened .
Talking about age in English 用英语谈论年龄
To say your age, use I am or Im - not I have:
Im 30 years old. = Im 30.
X：I have 30 years.
On your birthday, we use the verb turn to describe the change in your age:
I turned 45 last week.
My son is turning 16 tomorrow.
When talking about kids getting older, we say the kids are growing up. When a kid turns 18 , we call this coming of age.
Adults dont grow up adults simply get older. Another way to talk about an adult who has passed middle age is to say the person is getting on in years. But if an older adult has a lively, energetic spirit, then we can say the person is young at heart（人老心不老）.
Talking about birthday parties in English 用英语谈论过生日聚会
On somebodys birthday, you can say Happy birthday! In English, we dont say Congratulations for birthdays.
Another question is Are you doing anything special to celebrate?你要做些什么特别的来庆祝呢
Some adults have birthday parties. If its going to be a really big and fun party, you can call it a birthday bash（过生日庆典）. On the other hand, some people prefer a low-key get-together the word low-key means relaxed, not intense; and a get-together is a casual gathering of people.
At a birthday party, you might find balloons as well as a birthday cake with icing/frosting and sprinkles and, of course, candles.
Its traditional for the birthday boy or birthday girl to blow out the candles（吹蜡烛）. Some people make a wish（许愿） when they do this.
When someone has a birthday, other people often give them gifts/presents covered with wrapping paper.
If youre not sure what to give somebody, you can buy a gift certificate（礼品券） or gift card（礼品卡） that will allow the person to buy whatever they want at a certain store or restaurant.
