How to plan a party
新考法 人与社会:派对 难度:★★★★★ 建议用时:12分钟
你喜欢参加派对吗?当你置身于派对中时,你是否思考过这是一场什么主题的派对?人们为什么要举办各种各样的派对呢?
All the best parties have a theme. Are you going to choose a pajama party, a music party or something else? You also need to find a place to hold your party. Wherever you decide to have it, it's important to get permission from your parents first.

Next, decide who you are going to invite: everyone you know or just some of your friends. It's also important to make a guest list. Always remember to think carefully about how many people you can invite. When your list is ready, you can send the invitations. Two weeks before the party is the perfect time to tell them. If it's too early, some of your friends will forget about the party; if it's too late, some of your friends may have other plans.
OK, so now you've got a fortnight to get ready for it all. Don't panic—it's plenty of time, but don't leave it until the last minute.
At last, get a good night's sleep the night before. Give yourself a few hours to get the last few things ready and then, the most importantly, have fun!
