SIXTEEN is the age in the United States when teenagers can begin driving. It's a special celebration for a girl's 16th birthday——a big party called Sweet-16. It is like a wedding reception（結婚慶宴） in the number of guests and gifts handed out.
About a month before the party， the girl's family sends out invitations to the guests. The guests must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests themselves find good dresses to wear. A Sweet-16 present usually costs ﹩40 to﹩60. This is about 20 more than the usual cost of a birthday present.
The party itself is not held at someone's house. The hostess rents（租） a reception hall for the event. Food， cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6 o'clock， the guests arrive and greet the birthday girl. Then the girl and her father have a special father-daughter dance. After that， guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then there is the most important part of the Sweet-16 party， the Candle-Lighting ceremony. The sweet-16 hostess stands behind 16 unlit candles， and dedicates（獻給） each candle to her friends， family ，and anything that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging（擁抱） goes on at this time.
Afterwards， people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o'clock.
This school year， I have been to two Sweet-16s. I am one of the youngest students in my grade(I had my birthday in December). I'll have to wait another year before I can have my own special Sweet-16 party. I can't wait for it！
