Carla and Tom’s anniversary

Our anniversary was special this year – we’ve been married for ten years. We decided it would be
best to have a more formal celebration. First, we thought we’d have a sit-down dinner with three
courses. But we quickly realized it was too expensive. Instead, we had a simple reception with
starters that we made ourselves and served on plates we borrowed from friends. Tom’s parents let
us use their wonderful garden for the event. It was beautiful!

Sarah’s reward dinner

I was surprised when my university decided to hold this dinner for me. They gave me a prize for the
best scientific research and invited my colleagues and other scientists in my field. It was a grand
evening. The room was decorated beautifully, the waiters were smart and the food was delicious.
There was a seating plan and speeches. I’ll certainly never forget it – other events I’ve attended
were always more casual.

Samuel’s birthday party

I love the James Bond films, so I decided to ask everyone to come dressed up as their favourite
James Bond character for my 18th birthday party. I have some mad friends and they really made an
effort with their costumes. My family was there too, and we played music from the movies. Even
though everyone was dressed in formal suits and dresses, it was a relaxed party. People didn’t leave
until 3 a.m. – we had so much fun dancing.

Raheem’s graduation

I recently got my PhD in Physics. This is a huge achievement, not only for me but also for my parents
who helped me along the way. A lot of the day was spent taking photos of me in my cap and gown.
We then went to a fancy restaurant. It was more expensive than the places I normally go to, but I
really liked it. There were only a few of us – my siblings, two of my cousins and my parents.

Katerina’s holiday party

I love Christmas – the tree, the decorations, the biscuits. Last year I was away from home and I
decided to throw a Christmas party for my friends. Many of my friends come from different parts of
the world and don’t necessarily celebrate Christmas, so I called it a holiday party and asked all my
guests to bring a dish they love. It was a great night – lots of food, music and laughter. We were all
singing carols by the end.
