Hi everybody, my name is Alisha, welcome back
to Top Words!
Today we’re gonna be talking about the 10
must know words to party in the United States.
Not that I would know anything about that…
let’s go!
party
Party is a fun thing to do.
A party is a place where you presumably you
like, all the other people you know, a bunch
of people, your friends are there, there’s
something to eat, there’s something to drink,
there’s music to listen to, maybe there are
cute guys or cute girls or cute puppies.
You can enjoy whatever is happening at a party.
In a sentence, I used to go to a party every
week in college.
That’s mostly true.
In this sentence, the party tonight is going
to be crazy.
whoo whoo!
to dance
The next expression is to dance.
To dance at a party, sometimes when the music
is good you may feel compelled, you may feel
that you would like to dance.
To dance is to move your body rhythmically,
in accordance with beats, that’s if you’re
a robot giving a definition of the word to
dance, this is how your dance too, if you’re
that robot.
Okay.
In a sentence, I like to dance at clubs.
Let’s go see if those boys want to dance with us.
club
The next word is club.
I am getting so hot I’m gonna say some words, no!
Clubs don’t usually have a very good reputation,
they kind of seem like places for young people,
like late teens, early twenties, like, there’s
loud music and lots of cheap drinks, and people
go there to find dates and etc.
So club, let’s see, in a sentence, I visit
a club every once in a while.
This sentence says, every song on the radio
is about going to the club.
rave
the next word is rave. Rave is a– is a type of party.
The image of rave is like, it’s at night,
and there are people with glow sticks and
there’s like techno music, and it’s like…
And then everybody’s like Woh!! which I don’t
say, and they have like glowing things and
maybe there’s black lights.
In a sentence, I don’t think I’ve ever been
to a rave.
And in this sentence, there’s a rave in my
neighbor’s field this weekend.
festival
The next word is festival.
There’s usually some kind of theme, like a
music festival or a food festival, there’s
a theme.
And you can go there, maybe you need to buy
tickets, but sometimes it covers like one
or two days, a festival event does.
So festivals can sometimes be a bit more expensive
than parties to participate in.
In a sentence, there are a lot of summer music
festivals.
cheers
I think every country probably has a word
for this.
When you want to start drinking with your
friends, you touch glasses, or you touch drinks,
and you say Cheers, in American English and
as well as in some other countries, too.
so Cheers is the word we use in English.
So when everyone touches their glass together,
say cheers.
to drink
The next word is to drink.
So in this case, for parties, it means alcohol,
some kind of alcoholic drink.
Many of my students will say I went to drink
alcohol with my friends last night or I like
drinking alcohol or whatever, but a native
speaker does not say alcohol when we say,
I like drinking, we mean I like drinking alcohol,
but we do not say alcohol.
Don’t worry, like, no native speaker thinks
you’re talking about water when, if you say
I like drinking.
If you like to drink, if you like beer, wine,
whatever, just say I like drinking, that’s
enough, that’s fine, it’s very natural.
In a sentence, I go drinking once a month
with my friends.
In this sentence, wow, your friends really
like to drink.
Oh my!
to get drunk
Okay, the next expression is one to be careful
of, it’s to get drunk.
To get drunk means to drink too much so to
be sick, or to be in trouble, or to lose your
memory, something like that.
So to have too much alcohol to drink is to
get drunk.
In a sentence, I don’t like getting super
drunk because I feel sick the next day.
I don’t like to get drunk the night before
work.
VIP
The next word is VIP, it means very important person.
So a VIP at a club, a festival, some kind
of event, is someone who the owner or the
manager thinks is an important person, they
get special treatment, maybe free drinks and
a nice place to sit, a private room, they
get to meet the stars at the Music Festival, whatever.
A VIP, usually it’s a good thing to be a VIP.
In a sentence, we’re going to the VIP room
later, do you want to come?
In this sentence, if you’re famous, clubs
will let you sit in the VIP section.
to buy a round
The next expression is to buy a round.
To buy a round means to buy a round of drinks,
meaning to buy one drink for each person in
your group.
So if you’re in a group of four people, maybe
everybody buys one round of drinks, but if
you’re in a large group of people and you
decide to buy a round of drinks for everyone
in the group, this can be very expensive.
In a sentence, the next round of drinks is
on me, meaning I’ll buy the next drink for
everybody.
In this sentence, James bought a round of
drinks for everyone at his table.
