Article: If you become known as the person who comes up with the plans when everyone gets together, your friends will start looking to you as their leader. This doesn’t mean you make plans without thinking about your friends, however. Serve as a mediator if your friends have differing likes. Choose one friend's favorite lunch spot this week, then another friend's favorite next week.   Say things like: “Hey guys, I think it would be cool to try that new Thai place before the movie Friday. What to you all think?” Choose places based on your friend's preferences so that everyone feels included: "Instead of going to a movie Friday, why don't we play putt-putt? I know Karen loves it!" If everyone seems tired of going to the same old places, be the one to suggest something new! Even if you tend to make the decisions for your group, you don’t have to do everything for them. When you’re out with friends, let them take on some responsibilities. If you suggest what everyone should do, you’ll appear like the leader.  For instance, if you’re going to the movies, say “Hey Alisha, why don’t you look up the start times?” Likewise, if you’re planning a school party, you could say “Nick, why don't you come up with the playlist? You've got great taste in music.” Anticipate your friends' needs. Make sure that everyone has what they need to have fun, and that no one gets left behind.  For instance, if you’re headed to the beach, bring some extra towels and sunscreen. If some of your friends have more money that others, plan things so that everyone can afford to take part. If decisions need to be made, step in for your friends: “I don’t know--the movies are kinda pricey. Why don’t we just hang at my house and watch one instead?” Plan some fun ways that your group can coordinate. Whatever you decide, start a theme and make it special to your group. Try talk:  Wearing jeans and hoodies every Friday, or striped socks on Tuesdays. Getting matching patches to sew onto jackets. Picking coordinating Halloween costumes--everyone could go as Marvel superheroes, for instance. Buying ugly Christmas sweaters for all of you to wear to a holiday party.

Article: Even though the words differ, you should still sing the Italian "happy birthday" song to the tune of the "happy birthday" song you likely learned in English. The most commonly used lyrics for the "happy birthday" song don't actually mention birthdays at all. Instead, you're using the indirect "best wishes" expression in place of "happy birthday" in the standard tune.  You'll follow the expression with "a te" (ah tee), meaning "to you." The song lyrics are: Tanti auguri a te, Tanti auguri a te, Tanti auguri a (NAME), Tanti auguri a te! While it isn't used quite as often, you can technically use the direct "happy birthday" expression in place of the English expression in the standard song.  As with the "tanti auguri" version, you'll need to follow the phrase with "a te" (ah tee), meaning "to you." In this version, the lyrics are: Buon compleanno a te, Buon compleanno a te, Buon compleanno a (NAME), Buon compleanno a te!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use the familiar tune. Sing "tanti auguri" for several lines. Consider switching to "buon compleanno" instead.
