Birthdays are a common occasion for celebration. We often mark them by blowing out candles on a cake and eating noodles, symbolizing a long life. Young people often celebrate with surprises and treat their friends. For me, celebrations are crucial in life. They remind us of milestones, like birthdays and anniversaries. By celebrating, we acknowledge the passage of time and our growth. We celebrate marriage, and eventually, we celebrate life itself. Celebrations make us grateful for every moment. In my country, important celebrations like weddings and childbirths often come with a day off from work. These events require extensive preparation. However, invited guests usually don't need a day off, as they can attend for a few hours.

Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

The event that people usually celebrate is a birthday. Usually on that day we celebrate by blowing out candles on birthday cake and eating noodles as a sign of hope for a long life. Moreover, young people celebrate birthday by giving surprises and asking for their friends to be treated. For me celebration is important in someone’life. I feel celebration is our remind of an achievement in our life for instance a birday waiting and death. By celebrating it we remember that human life goes on until our age increased by a year so we become more mature. Then the time comes for us to get married and then we call alt and die. Celebration makes us greadful for every moment in our life. In my country important celebrations such as marriageide childpar that will have a day off from work from the company because a big celebration like that needs a lot of preparation but for the invited people there is no need for a day off from work because they can come to the event for just a few hours.
