 Trang 1/3 - Mã đề thi 935 
The most common cards are birthday and Christmas cards. Many Christmas cards are sold in aid 
of charity and special ‘charity card shops’ are often set up in temporary premises in the weeks before 
Christmas. A wide variety of birthday cards is available to cater for different ages and tastes. Some, 
especially ones for young children or for people celebrating a particular birthday, have the person’s 
age on the front. Many have comic, often risqué, messages printed on them, and cartoon-style 
illustrations. Others are more sober, with reproductions of famous paintings or attractive original 
designs. The usual greeting on a birthday card is ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Many Happy Returns’ or ‘Best 
Wishes for a Happy Birthday’. 
Some people also send special cards for Easter and New Year. Easter cards either portray images 
of spring, such as chicks, eggs, lambs, spring flowers, etc, or have a religious theme. 
Cards are produced for every ‘milestone’ in a person’s life. There are special cards for an 
engagement, a marriage, a new home, a birth, success in an examination, retirement, a death in the 
family, etc. Some are ‘good luck’ or ‘congratulations’ cards. Others, for example ‘get well’ cards for 
people who are ill, express sympathy.
