Parties

Q1.What kind of parties have you had so far?

Ans: I've been to quite a lot of birthday parties so far. I've got a big family and a bunch of friends, and since everyone has a birthday once a year, there's always something going on. If people can afford it, they usually celebrate - sometimes it's just dinner at home, other times it's a proper party with decorations, music, and everything. I always celebrate mine too. Sometimes I keep it small, like pizza and board games with friends, but I've also had a few big ones. Besides birthdays, I've also been to a couple of housewarming parties when friends moved into a new place - usually lots of snacks, music, and people checking out the new apartment.

I went to a costume party once too. That one was wild. People got really creative. I dressed up as a pirate, but someone came as a giant banana and totally stole the show. Oh, and I went to a farewell party for a friend who was moving abroad. It was kind of emotional, but also really fun - we shared memories, played music, and stayed up way too late.

Q2.Why do some people dislike parties?

Ans:Well, I guess, the main reason is that parties are noisy, and almost all of them grow rowdy sooner or later. And this is what many people find really exhausting and even stressful.... Another possible reason is that some people are not particularly keen on getting to know loads of new people 'cause they simply don't like to mix and circulate. Also, I'd say that some people dislike parties 'cause they have other ideas about having a good time like reading a book or watching a good film with one or two close friends... So, people dislike loud music, making out with random people on the dance floor and inability to have a deep and meaningful conversation.

Q3.What do adults do at parties?

Q4.How do people celebrate their personal events?

Ans:Well, most adults eat, drink, chat with each other and take a lot of photos at parties. There are also adults who like to have fun dancing, singing karaoke and participating in party games. If it's not a fancy party but just a get together with friends, adults can also play board or card games or just make each other laugh with jokes.

Q5.What do children do at a birthday party?

Ans:Oh, I think plenty of things, actually. They definitely play different games both active and board, go on a scavenger hunt in search of cheap little favours, take part in different races and, of course, eat a cake with tea or juice. If a birthday party is held at home, they can also play computer games or watch cartoons together, sculpt something with plasticine or modelling clay, do face painting and even unleash balloons into the sky at the end of the party.

Q6.Why do people organise family parties in your country?

Ans:Oh, I guess they do it mostly because they want to share their happy moments with their nearest and dearest, and because the memories of such parties carry some of the deepest emotional meaning... One more reason why people like to organise family celebrations, to my mind, is that such parties are a great, sometimes the only, opportunity not only to reconnect and hang out with an extended family but also to strengthen family bonds. Something like this.

Q7.Do people in your country like to hold parties?

Ans:I would say more yes than no as parties are always fun and a good chance for everyone to escape from their monotonous routines, fears or thoughts. What is more, parties are always a good reason to cheer with people we already know as well as a chance to meet new people and socialize with them. It's also a time where expression is free, which is very important for our nature. So yeah, people in my country definitely like to have parties.

Q8.Do you think people can make more friends if they often attend parties?

Ans:Well, I guess yes as people are usually open for making new friends at parties, maybe because it's easier to buddy up while relaxing and having fun or because most people attend parties for the same reason - to have a good time - so every person who parties initially has something in common with almost everyone there.
