Last week, I had my birthday party, it was my Adult Ceremony. Unlike the birthday party I had before, this time, my mother treated it as an important meeting, she invited many of my friends, she wanted to give me a big surprise and an unforgettable birthday. In China, when the children are 18, it means they have grown up and been adults. They can make their own decisions, their parents can’t treat them as kids any more. My mother gave me a present, it was a computer, I was so happy, she said that since I had been 18, I should be mature, I should think twice before action. I was so moved, at that moment, I felt it was so hard for my mother to raise me up, I would never let her down. My Adult Ceremony is sweet, I will never forget it.

上周，我度过了我的生日，那是我的成人礼。不像之前我过的生日派对，这次，我的妈妈把它看着很重要，她邀请了我很多的朋友，她想要给我一个大大的惊喜和一次难忘的生日。在中国，当孩子长到18岁的时候，这意味着他们已经长大成人。他们可以自己做决定，父母再也不能把他们当做孩子看待了。我的妈妈给我买了一份礼物，那是一台电脑，我很开心，她说既然我已经十八岁了，就要成熟点，凡事要三思而后行。我很感动，在那一刻，我知道我的妈妈把我养大成人是多么不容易啊，我不会让她失望的。我的成人礼很甜蜜，我永远也不会忘记。

Adult ceremony maybe is not very familiar for our Chinese. Although in the old time, our country also has the tradition to have adult ceremony, now most areas have given it up. It is a ceremony to celebrate the children become adults. In German, adult ceremony is a traditional festival with a long history. Everyone reaching the age of fourteen is adult in their religious belief and custom. Every April or May, they will dress well to take part in the adult ceremony with the companion of their parents or friends. At first, there will be a speech spoken by some respectable people. They will remind the kids of their new rights and duties. And then people will congratulate them become adults. Later the adults will hold dancing party for them. This is the German adult ceremony. Except German, there are still some places having adult ceremony, which will be similar. 
成人礼对于我们中国人来说也许不是很熟悉。虽然在以前，我国也有成人仪式的传统，但是现在大部分地区已经摈弃了。这是一个庆祝孩子长大成人的仪式。在德国，成人礼是一个历史悠久的传统节日。在宗教信仰和习俗里每个年满十四岁的就是成人。每年的四月或五月，他们会打扮好在他们的父母或者朋友的陪伴下去参加成人礼。首先，会有一个德高望重的人来发言。他们会提醒孩子们新的权利和义务。然后大家就会祝贺他们长大成人了。后面人们会为他们举办舞会。这是德国的成人礼。除了德国之外，还有一些地方也是存在着相似的成人礼。
