 I think it is the ‘Happy
birthday’ song in
Chinese.

That’s right! How is this

song similar to the
‘Happy birthday’ song
sung in English?

CHI_YP-02Band_U7_SS_Celeb
 It has the same tune.
The meaning of the lyrics
is also the same.
They both say
‘Happy birthday to you!’

祝你生日快乐！
Happy birthday to you!

 Well done!
Did you notice any
differences?

CHI_YP-02Band_U7_SS_Celeb
 In the Chinese birthday
song, ‘to you’ is at the
beginning and ‘happy’ is
at the end.

祝你 生日 快乐 ！
Happy birthday to you !

 That’s right!
Another difference is that
the Chinese birthday
song does not include the
name of the birthday boy
or birthday girl.
Let’s sing the Chinese
birthday song together.

 This year I had the best
birthday party.
My Chinese friends sang
the Chinese birthday song
to me and also gave me
birthday cards written in
Chinese.

CHI_YP-02Band_U7_SS_Celeb
 Let’s take a look at what is
written on the cards.
What do you think they say?

 I’ve noticed that people in
China and Australia
celebrate special days
differently.

CHI_YP-02Band_U7_SS_Celeb
 That’s right. When my
friends and I celebrate
our birthdays, we eat
birthday cake.
What about you?

CHI_YP-02Band_U7_SS_Celeb
 Oh yes, we eat cakes, too.
But we also eat noodles
called ‘longevity noodles’
for our birthday.

Well, not really.
We receive red envelopes
with money in them.
