Tom's birthday is
on
15th July. This year, his parents prepare a surprise party for him. Before the party, Tom's mother asks
an
AI assistant(助手)to make a shopping list. Then she buys things on
it
: a big birthday cake, some chocolate, pizza, balloons, and a birthday gift—a
pair
of cool sports shoes. The online(网上)shop has a sale, so the total
price
is very good. At the party, Tom makes a wish,
blows
out the candles, and enjoys the cake with his friends. They also play games planned by the AI assistant.
Lin Fei's birthday is on 1st October. It is also
National
Day. In China, eating birthday noodles means long
life
. So in the morning, Lin Fei has a bowl of noodles. Her friends don't buy anything for her. They use an AI app(应用程序)to make digital(数字的)birthday cards for her. These cards are really amazing and
meaningful
! Lin Fei's parents give her a gift. It's a special book to help her learn about wildlife.
Times change, and technology(技术)like AI brings birthdays new fun.
But
the warm feelings from family and friends never change in both China and the UK.
