PARTY FASHIONS

A Running parties
In some parts of the country, especially where the weather's always good, it's common for groups of friends to
organise running parties. 1_________. They put on sports clothes: trainers, tracksuits, joggers, sweatshirts. They
run through the trees, they climb hills, they jump over rivers and they try not to fall. And when they get back to
their cars, they have a picnic and relax in the fresh air. 2_________.

B Cooking parties
If you don't know how to cook, you should try a cooking party! Once a week, usually at the weekend, a group
of friends meets in someone's kitchen. 3_________. Two of them do the shopping to buy the food, while the
others do the cooking on the day. 4_________. There's only one rule: if they cook very badly, they have to pay
for coffee and sweets for everyone!

C Theme parties
Theme parties are also very fashionable these days. One of my favourites is a film character party. All the guests
dress up as their favourite character from a film, and the others have to guess who they are. Can you imagine
Shrek meeting Darth Vader?! You can try some interesting food, make new friends and have a good time - and
there's usually some good film music to dance to. 5_________.
