A: are you going to helen’s birthday party on Friday evening?
B: I wouldn’t miss it for the world! It’s sure to be fun. She’s invited a lot of people. Do you thind everyone will be able to get into her house?
A: if everyone turned up, it would be a squeeze1, but a feww people said that they couldn’t go, so I think it should be ok?
B: are you taking anything?
A: I’ve got her a birthday present and I’ll take a bottle fo wine too.
B: that’s a good idea. She told she had bought plenty of food and snacks. I think it’s going to be a noisy party. I hope her neihbours don’t mind too much.
A: helen gets on very well with her neighours. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went to the party too.
B: I’m ready looking forward to it. This party is going to be a blast2!

A: that was a great party. Thanks for saying behind to help me clear up.
B; it certainly was a great party. It’s a pity that a glass and a plate got broken and someone spilled a drink over there.
A: I expected that something might get broken. That doesn’t bother me. That spilled drink won’t leave a stain4 ,will it?
B: I doubt it, I ‘ll deal with it right away. Luckily it wasn’t a glass of red wine, I’ll just get a bowl of water and a cloth.
A: I’m going to put all the rubbish into this big plastic bag.
B: afterwards, we can do the washing up together. Everything will be finished within an hour. Your friend keith is really funny. I liked his magic tricks.
A; yes, he’s very good.. isn’t he? He told some funny stories too.
B: amanda told some very funny jokes. At the beginning of the party, she was being ver serious.
A; I think that she had a litter too much of the punch5.
B: what did you put in that punch? It tasted great, but was quite strong.
A: that’s my little secret. Did you lke the snacks and I prepared?
B: very much. The birthday cake was delicious, wasn’t it? Emily told me that she and karen made it themselves.
A: that cake tasted so good! It disappeared within minutes, so I think everyone liked it a lot. How’s that stain?
B: all cleaned up. Are you ready to start on the washing up:
