How old are you?1. Which age groups in our culture like to talk about how old they are and which age groups dont? In the United States, young children like to tell how old they are. Teenagers are sometimes sensitive about age questions because they want people to think they are older than they really are. After age 25, it is not considered polite to ask someones age, except for business reasons. Many people in the United States think its good to be young and bad to be old. 2. Most American children celebrate birthdays with a cake with lighted candles on top, one candle for each year of their age. The birthday boy （or girl） is supposed to make a wish （without telling anyone what it is） and blow out the candles. If he blows out all of the candles with one breath, the wish will come true. Singing Happy Birthday to You is also a tradition on birthdays.Some birthdays are more important than other birthdays, especially in the life of a teenager and young adult.Age 13: becomes a teenagerAge 16: can obtain a drivers license in the United States （for an automobile）Age 18: can register to voteAge 21: can legally drink alcohol3. In China, people sometimes celebrate their lunar birthday rather than their solar birthday. Chinese people also use twelve animals to symbolize the year in which one is born.
