Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
In Britain and many other European countries, celebrating a person's birthday is an important tradition. Family members and close friends are usually expected to attend the party. If someone cannot come in person, they often send a gift by post instead.
At the party, the birthday person opens all the gifts in front of everyone and thanks each guest for their present. Traditionally, the mother bakes the birthday cake herself, although many families now simply buy one from a bakery or supermarket. Candles are placed on top of the cake, usually matching the person's age, and are lit just as the party begins. Once everyone has gathered around, they sing "Happy Birthday to You," and the birthday person blows out the candles, often while making a silent wish.
After this, guests usually enjoy playing games, dancing, or simply chatting together, making the celebration a joyful and memorable occasion for everyone involved.

Read the following text and do the task.
I still remember my first day working on a farm last summer. My uncle Peter owns a small farm outside the city, and he asked me to help him for two weeks during my school holiday. On the first morning, my uncle looked at me and said, "Are you ready to work hard today, Oliver?" I felt nervous because I had never done any farm work before, but I answered, "Yes, I think I'm ready, Uncle Peter!" He gave me a pair of old boots and a straw hat, while my cousin Daisy, who works there every summer, wore a cap and carried a basket for collecting eggs.
First, Peter showed me how to feed the chickens, and then he took me to the vegetable field, where Daisy was already picking tomatoes. After that, we all had lunch together under a big tree. In the afternoon, my uncle asked me to carry some heavy bags of animal feed to the barn, which was harder than I expected. By evening, my arms were aching, but I felt proud of what I had done. Daisy laughed and said that after a few more days, the work would feel much easier for me.
