Describe a party that you joined

You should say:

• When it took place

• Where it was

• Whose party it was

• What you did there

And explain how you felt about the party.

有关party的表达：

热衷于参加各种聚会的人 Party animal

组织举办聚会 to throw/have/hold a party

乔迁派对 Housewarming party

单身派对 bachelor party／ single party

公司年会 annual dinner

百乐餐 Potluck party

思路一

毕业party

每个人都经历过毕业，那么在毕业的时候通常会举办毕业告别晚会，这就是一个很好的回答思路，通常大家都会盛装打扮，漂漂亮亮的出席，还会有各种仪式和节目环节，毕竟这是人生中一个重要的时刻。

重点表达点拨：

毕业晚会／告别晚会 Graduation party ／ farewell party

盛装打扮 dress up

穿高跟鞋 wear high-heels

套装 suit

宴会大厅 banquet hall

五星级酒店 five-star hotel

走红毯 walking on red carpet

思路二

pub talk

Beatrice 讲到，她在英国的时候经常会参加一种小型聚会叫做pub talk, 大家相聚在酒吧，聊聊各种有关的主题话题，酒吧的氛围会比较轻松一些，比如学习口译学的Beatirce 就很喜欢在pub talk上跟大家谈论不同的口音。

重点表达点拨：

闲谈 random conversation

聚会的焦点人物 life of the party

聚会上扫兴的人 party pooper

Beatrice老师示范音频文本

The most impressive party I went was in my British classmate’s home. Before I went to Britain, I was under the illusion that throwing a party means the host should prepare a grand dinner and gather a large group of people to dance and sing. However, only when I attended a casual home party did I notice that a typical British home party contains conversations and cocktails.

After submitting our midterm essays, one of my British classmates Mathew threw a home party in his home. Guests were allowed to bring their friends, and we had about 15 people to hang out after dinner time. People brought some snacks to the host’s home, and had a very, very long free talk which ended around 3 am on the next day. We talked about the wet weather, gossiped about our tutors, slightly complained about our heavy assignments and as language students, imitated different accents. Also, we played games which involved language learning and tongue twisters, and even exchanged on political issues.

I think this kind of what I called free-talk parties have a charm of its own. Friends and acquaintances showing up there are not deeply involved in each others' lives. We are companions, not intimates. In other words, we could share thoughts and feelings on whatever we come up with in that kind of parties, which really relaxed me and even helped me to know more about different cultures.
