本文来自雅思口语网liuxue86.com《Parties》。 1. Do you like to go to parties?

Yes. I go to parties to drink and hang out with my friends and every once in a while get to know new friends. I like parties also because it's a great excuse to have tons of little foods. (hang out: 外出 闲逛)

2. Is there anything you dislike about parties?

I don't like parties because I really don't know what to do with myself. Someone always tells me to “loosen up” and “just be myself” and I always reply that I am naturally stodgy and wooden! I also don't like parties because I have difficulties picking out only one conversation from the din. (din: 吵闹 喧闹)

3. When you go to a party, what do you usually do?

I can meet my pals and have conversation with them at the party. Usually we put on some music, dance and eat. I seldom sit by myself at a party anyway. (pal: 朋友) New Oriental School

4. What do you do when you get together with your friends?

Whenever I hang out with my friends, we usually chat a lot and go mad. We keep on laughing on silly things and make fun of each other and ourselves. We would share about our school life and all our sweet memories.

5. What do you think are the benefits of parties?

Parties can reinforce the bonds of a social group. In some contexts, it can strengthen business related bonds, strengthen a sense of team and make contacts to further one's career. (social group: 社会团体) (business related bonds: 生意圈)

6. Why someone dislike parties?

Maybe they are in-going people, not social, so they feel shy to speaking to strangers. Maybe some people like quiet, parties are too noisy or too rowdy for them. (rowdy: 吵闹的)

7. Do you prefer family parties or parties with friends?

Personally I prefer gatherings with family and close friends. I also like when these gatherings span all age groups and offers something for everyone within reason and good taste...(span: 贯穿 跨越)

I prefer parties with friends, it's more relaxed for me. When i go to a family party, it's usually food and talking, really a bit boring. When i go to friend's party it's usually a disco or bowling, more interesting.
