P2 I have a birthday party, a school disco party, a barbecue and New Year
party.
T What kind of party do you like going to? Why?

b) T Maybe some of you want to give some advices to make our party
better, without any problems. Think it over. You are welcome.
P1 Make the party invitation only so that you limit the numbers you invite.

Never ask more people then you can keep under control. It possible, print
your invitations or make them difficult to copy.
P2 Discuss everything with your parents before the party. Make sure you
agree on important things, e.g. when the party is going to end and what is
allowed or not allowed.
P3 Make sure your guests do not break things. Put everything valuable in
the house away.
P4 Ask friends to come back the next day to help you clear up after the
party. Leave a whole day to help you clear up.
P5 Always ask whos there before opening the door not just at parties.
Be careful about gatecrashers. Have a parent or some other adult around to
help
you if you need it. If possible, always open the door yourself because you
know who you invited.
P6 Have plenty of good music. This is very important. Before the party
make a tape of your favourite songs. It Is boring to wait while someone
chooses what to put on next.
T I hope that with your advices anyone party will be interesting and without
any problems. But tell me please
- Do you think teenagers should have parties with or without their parents?
P1 I think they should have parties with parents because they can help if
we need a help.
P2 But I think teenagers should have parties without parents because
pupils can be confused and behave in another way they really are.
