Listen again and answer the questions.
What do people do at formal and informal parties What are the differences
What are the rules for attending parties in general
Which piece of party advice do you find the most useful Why
People chat and have a good time together with a group of close friends during dinner parties. People can dance, have fun and meet new people at big parties. People dress differently at formal parties and informal parties.
Dress appropriately. Adults should bring a bottle of wine or some beer. Teenagers usually bring snacks or puddings. Don’t be late. When you arrive, say hello and thank the host for inviting you. Introduce yourself and make small talk. Say goodbye and thank them when you leave.
I think it is useful to know that we should bring something small to a party, such as snacks. By doing this we can make the host happy and show them we appreciate the invitation which is very important.
Suggested Answers
(P = Presenter J = Jenny C = Carl)
P: Our Culture Corner this week is on parties, and we have two young people from the UK in the studio.
Jenny and Carl, thank you for coming.
J: You’re welcome.
C: Thanks for inviting us!
P: As far as I know, young people in the UK like to go to parties. So what kind of parties do you like
J: I like dinner parties. That means you’re invited to someone’s house for dinner. It’s usually just a group of
close friends chatting and having a good time together.
C: Well, I like big parties where you can dance, have fun and meet new people!
P: Right. And could you give us some advice about what to do at parties in the UK
C: My advice is to dress appropriately. Some parties are held for a specific formal purpose, like a graduation
party or a wedding. Some may be informal, like a small dinner or birthday party. So if it’s a formal
occasion, you should dress smartly. Wear a neat black suit and a tie, for example.

P: I see. And are there any rules for attending parties in general You know, adults like us might sometimes
bring a bottle of wine or some beer. What about teenagers like you

always be on time.
J: Also, when you arrive, it’s polite to say hello and thank the host for inviting you. If you don’t know them
well, you should introduce yourself and make small talk. And say goodbye and thank them again when you
leave.
