E: Tell me something about this Japanese coming of age ceremony you have seen recently.
S: As you know the ceremony is symbolic and after it you are treated as an adult in Japan.
E: But tell me something more about that.
S: The coming of age ceremony is celebrated when you are twenty. The strangest thing is that students from one year at school have the ceremony at the same time. They dress in traditional kimonos and go with their parents to the city council to sign papers and take some pictures. Than the I.D.’s are given. After that, whole families and their friends go to restaurants or home and have parties and of course take some more photos.
E: That sounds really unusual.
S: It is not as enjoyable as our birthday parties. The kimonos are not very comfortable and it takes hours to put them on properly. What is more important they are very expensive so the families have to hire them sometimes.
E: We can say that our eighteenth birthday clothes are less demanding.

S: It is Monika’s name day this weekend. Let’s buy her a nice present. What about a new CD of her favourite rock band?
E: I think such CD is too expensive. It is better to buy her a book.
S: But if we collect money from our friends, we will raise enough money to buy her this CD. Beside you know that she would be really pleased if we bought her this CD and she can not afford it.
E: OK, we can at least ask our friends. If we collect money, we will buy her this CD.
S: Great! I have been also thinking about preparing a small surprise party for her. We can ask people and have it at my house. It is not a big thing, some snacks, soft drinks and a secret, because we can not tell her.
E: Let’s do it, it is a good idea.
