Hello! I'm Susan. I like parties because I can chat with my friends, dance and eat tasty food. I also like preparing for parties. It’s fun to make invitations, cook snacks and plan the music and games. This party is my favourite. You choose a theme for your party and your friends wear clothes to match the theme. You can also decorate the party room and have food and music the same theme. These parties are also good – but you need good weather! My family and friends often have barbecues in a garden or on the beach. Food always tastes fantastic outdoors! Then we swim or play games. Sometimes my friends and I sleep in tents after these parties. It is a special day for me. Today my mum is cooking Chinese dishes and I’m cleaning the house, decorating the party room and making costumes! I love presents and cakes. That’s so cool! 3.
