In groups, read about some birthday party traditions in England. Make a list of birthday party traditions in Moldova. Speak about them.

 • In England there are cakes known as Fortune Telling Cakes which are made for the birthday. People add symbolic objects into the birthday cake when they prepare it. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich.

• Also, when it’s your birthday, your friends give you the “bumps”. They lift you in the air by your hands and feet and raise you up and down to the floor, one for each year, then one for luck, two for luck and three for the old man’s coconut!

The tradition of sending birthday cards began in England about 100 years ago. Today, millions of people send electronic cards.

Read the poem. Do you agree that grandmothers can do magic? Why/Why not?

When Granny comes, I like to see
The magic that she does for me.
She turns a pumpkin into pie
As quickly as you wink an eye.

And when she mixes dough for bread,
It turns into a dove instead.
Some read of magic out of books
And I see the magic when Granny cooks.
