Text in Russian:

Когда я была маленькая, я очень любила свой день рождения. Всегда было так весело! Сейчас для меня это обычный день. Как правило, я приглашаю друзей, и мы идём в кафе. Интересно, что в России именинник платит за всех. Что касается подарков, то мне обычно дарят деньги, духи или косметику.

Text in English:

When I was little, I enjoyed my birthday very much. It was always so much fun! Now it's just an ordinary day for me. Usually, I invite friends and we go to the cafe. It's interesting that in Russia a birthday person pays for everyone who attends. As for gifts, people usually give me money, perfumes or makeup.
