talking about
a party beth
and tim are about to celebrate anne’s
birthday party
at the weekend watch the video
and know how to prepare to have a happy
birthday party
hey tim how often do you go to parties
parties well i go to most of the parties
that i’m invited to
but when i’m busy or if it’s a school
night i’ll stay home
why did you ask do you need any help
well ann invited me to her birthday
party this weekend
i’m free so i agreed and i only really
want to go but i’ve never
gone to any party before
really then it’s about time you go out
and experience
life so how do we start
first of all i don’t know what to wear
i have a prom dress but i’m afraid it
might be too formal
you’re right we are planning to have an
outdoor
barbecue party so a prom dress is
inappropriate
it’s too inconvenient
then what should i wear well
you can’t dress casually since it’s a
party after all
so i think a sophisticated blouse and
skirt would be perfect
if you want to i can come to your house
before we go to the party to help you
prepare
i would love that thank you
all right next what should i get as a
present for anne i’m not close to her so
i really don’t know what she likes
hmm you can buy her some type of plushie
toy perhaps
tim ann isn’t a five-year-old kid
but girls still like it when they’re
given plushies
even you like it too yes
but carla is getting a present for anne
not me well she is really into plants
oh but i don’t think i have enough money
to get her a plant
well then how about a book about plants
or gardening
i think she will love it yes that sounds
reasonable
thanks for the suggestion beth anything
else
um what usually happens at parties like
these
i’m afraid i might be a little awkward
and lost
some parties can be very chaotic but
this is a birthday party
and anne only invited a limited amount
of people
since her parents are there too you only
have to come
eat have a drink talk to people and wait
until they bring out the cake
after the birthday ceremony it’s time to
dance and just have a great time
sounds fun i’ll be looking forward to it
i have to go now see you guys at the
party
see you
[Music]
okay now we have to discuss organizing
anne’s birthday party
okay so we all agreed that it will be an
outdoor barbecue party right
yes all right about the food
what are we going to prepare beth
you are the best cook we have do you
have any recommendations
well i’m thinking pork kebabs
we can chop up pork bell peppers and
cherry tomatoes
put them through sticks and roast them
it’s convenient delicious and filling
too
that’s a great idea anything else
chicken wings and sausages might be
great
i mean who doesn’t love them right
and i recommend bacon and beef steak
we should also have some more vegetables
other than peppers and tomatoes from the
kebabs
okay i’ll add those to the menu
for vegetables are you all okay with
cucumber
celery and some salad we can bring some
corn to grill
all right that’s it for the menu
anne said that her parents will prepare
the drinks to make sure we don’t consume
anything with alcohol so we don’t need
to worry about that
great so what about decorations
me and tim kind of had a design here
we drew it out you guys can take a look
wow it looks great you really put your
effort into this
decorating is what i do best but thank
you
so after we’re done discussing the two
of us will go to walmart to get some
decorations
is that okay yes of course
then i’ll take care of the cake i still
have some work to do
so unfortunately i can’t bake it myself
even though i
really want to i guess i will just order
it somewhere
don’t forget the candles haha
thanks for reminding me but i won’t
candles are important
i think that’s everything we need to
take care of anne’s parents will prepare
the rest
so what time should we arrive at her
house to help with preparing
the party starts at seven we have quite
a lot of things to do
so let’s be there before five
does everyone agree absolutely
[Music]
yes
bella hello oh hello carla
god it’s been a while i haven’t seen you
since we finished the basic chemistry
class
don’t be over dramatic bella it’s only
been a week
that’s a long time for me
um do you have a minute i just want to
ask you something
cher go ahead well ann
invited me to her birthday this weekend
anne you mean annabelle johnson
[Music]
yes that’s her she told me that i can
bring someone along
so can you come with me to the party
i’ve never been to a real party before
and i don’t want to feel lost
wait you have literally never gone to a
party
ever i know it’s hard to believe but yes
oh dear you really need to learn to
enjoy life more
of course i’ll come with you i know anne
but we’ve never officially met maybe
this could be a chance
i’ve always admired her thank you so
much
well tim told me that we can’t dress
casual but
don’t be too formal don’t worry
i know how to dress up for parties like
this
oh and also beth mentioned something
about
dancing i’m a little bit worried about
that i don’t know how to dance
it’s a party carla not a talent show
dancing is simply just feeling the music
and
doing whatever you want
not everyone at the party knows how to
dance i don’t know either
so relax no one is going to judge you
well i’m relieved to hear that i’m
afraid that i was going to be a complete
joke on the dance floor
so what time does the party start
it’s at seven you don’t have a car
right no i don’t
then i’ll come and pick you up i’ll
arrive at your house by
6 30. is that okay with you
i think it’s fine cool
we’re going to have a very good time
i hope we will now that i’m also invited
i think i should go look for a present
do you want to come with me
of course let’s go
