1 . How to plan a party?
The first question you need to ask is “Why am I having a party?” (It’s my birthday; the exams are over; our football team won a match; I just want a party.)
All the best parties have a theme (主题). What are you going to choose for yours? Beach party? 1970s disco? Something else?
Next, who are you going to invite: everyone you know or just some of your friends?
Finally, get a good night’s sleep the night before, give yourself a few hours to get the last few things ready and then, most importantly of all, have fun!
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使文章意思通顺、内容完整。A.It’s time to draw up the guest list. |
B.Two weeks before the party is the perfect time. |
C.OK, so now you’ve got two weeks to get it all ready. |
D.You also need to find somewhere to hold your party. |
E.Of course, these things can also be left until the day before. |
2 . In our country, we often see people happily sitting together, eating noodles, cakes when it is one family member’s birthday. This is a typical Chinese birthday. How birthdays are celebrated in other countries? Here are four examples.
Many people regard their birthday as their own special day, but not in Vietnam, where everyone celebrates their birthday on the same day. This day is called TET. It means the start of spring and New Year. Families get together for a large meal and perform lion dances. Parents and relatives give children “Lucky Money” on that day.
In Australia, people sometimes eat “Fairy Bread” instead of birthday cake, which is a kind of buttered bread cut into cute shapes. Many Australian celebrate a birthday with a barbecue (烧烤) in the garden. Being given the key to the house is an important tradition. This takes place when someone turns the age of twenty-one, which means the birthday girl or boy officially become adults.
In Norway, the birthday child dance with a friend in front of their class, while the others sing a happy birthday song. Most birthday parties have chocolate cake with chocolate freezing and fishes of red gelatin (明胶). At birthday parties, guests may go fishing, but not for fish; They play a game known as “fishing for ice cream”.
In Korea, a child’s first “birthday” is called Baekil and celebrated at 100 days. One of the traditional customs is making the birthday baby sit at a table filled with all kinds of objects. The first two objects they pick up predict their future. Money and rice stand for wealth; a pen means intelligence, and so on.
