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 quests
and have a good time – you’ve earned it!
1) Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the purpose of
giving a dinner party?
A. to entertain people. B. to make new friends.
C. to get people to know more about their host and hostess.
D. to help people to know each other better.
2) when giving a dinner party, you should NOT
invite ........................ .
A. husbands and wives. B. those who are vegetarians.
C. both women and men. D. those who can’t eat or drink
certain things.
3) The menu should include these EXCEPT ..........................
A. a first course B. a supper C. a dessert D. main courses
4) According to the passage, starters should be
served ...........................
A. because the guests want to have a good time together
B. because the guests like eating them
C. because the guests want to eat them while having to wait
D. because the guests may be hungry while having to wait
5) What should you do while the guests are having their evening
meal?

third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and
