I attended a birthday party in 1991. My teacher was then 59 years old. her fellow teacher said that we (celebrate) her 39th birthday! We were all (surprise) and puzzled.
After the party I was told by the fellow teacher that American women have a special saying about (birth). If a woman is over 40, or even if she is 80, her birthday is always 39th. If she is in her thirties, her birthday will be the 29th. And in her twenties, it's the 19th. They usually have (they) "real" birthday when they are 20. This shows that American women, (special) elderly women, are very sensitive about their ages. But my teacher always says, "We want to be (young). " so about the age of Western women, my advice is 7 if you don't know it, don't ask about it; if you really know it, don't mention it.
