PREPARING A DINNER PARTY
Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new friends and give
others the chance to get to know each other better.
It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women
and men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.
When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are
vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious seasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s
favourite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone
can help you carry it!
On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t
get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time –
you’ve earned it!

VI . Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an
American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family
was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial,
ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who
either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent
of the total number of American households is single people, usually women over sixty-five
years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who
choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with
at least one child.
