Dear Jenny, 

Sorry I didn't answer your last letter. If I realised how serious the situation was, I would have written to you straight away. You obviously need my advice. I only wish to be with you now to help you. I think it's about time you left your job and started to look for a new one. If your boss insists on treating you so unfairly, then you have very little choice. You say that you'd rather have a job you hate than no job at all, but is that really true? If you were worried about money, don't be. You can come home and live with wour father and me for a while. I'd rather you lived nearer home anyway. Your old boss at the library, Mr.Green, say you could have your old job back if you want it. You could have been Head Librarian by now if you hadn't left ! Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear about any other suitable jobs. Take care and let me know if you make any decisions.

Love, Mum

Going to party can be fun and enjoyable. If you are invited to a party, do call your host up early to inform him or her of whether you are going. If you want to bring someone who has not been invited along with you, you should ask for permission first. Remember to dress appropriately for the party. You will stick out like a sore thumb if you are dressed formally whereas everyone else is in T-shirt and jeans. If you are not sure what to wear, do ask your host.

During the party you may perhaps like to help your host by offering to serve drinks or wash the dishes. Your host would certainly appreciate these efforts. If you happen to be in a party you do not know anyone, do not try to monopolize the host's attention. This is inconsiderate since your host has many people to attend to and can not spend all his or her time with you. Instead, learn to mingle with others at the party. You could try breaking the ice by introducing yourself to someone who is friendly-looking.

Before you leave the party, remember to thank your host first. If you have the time, you could even offer to help your host clean up the place

1. What will you do if you are invited to a party?

-> If I am invited to a party, do call my host up early to inform him or her of whether I am going.

2. What should you do during the party to help your host?

-> Offering to serve drinks or wash the dishes.

3. What could you do if you don't know anyone at the party?

-> Learning to mingle with others at the party and introduct myself to someone who is friendly-looking.

4. Should guests leave the party without saying thank to their host?

-> No, it shouldn't

Đi dự tiệc có thể rất vui và thú vị. Nếu bạn được mời tham dự một bữa tiệc, hãy gọi chủ nhà của bạn dậy sớm để thông báo cho họ biết bạn có tham dự hay không. Nếu bạn muốn dẫn một ai đó chưa được mời đi cùng, bạn nên xin phép trước. Hãy nhớ ăn mặc phù hợp cho bữa tiệc. Bạn sẽ nhô ra như ngón tay cái đau nếu bạn ăn mặc lịch sự trong khi những người khác mặc áo phông và quần jean. Nếu bạn không chắc nên mặc gì, hãy hỏi chủ nhà.

Trong bữa tiệc, bạn có thể muốn giúp đỡ chủ nhà bằng cách đề nghị phục vụ đồ uống hoặc rửa bát. Chủ nhà của bạn chắc chắn sẽ đánh giá cao những nỗ lực này. Nếu bạn tình cờ tham gia một bữa tiệc mà bạn không biết ai, đừng cố gắng độc chiếm sự chú ý của chủ nhà. Điều này là không cân nhắc vì máy chủ của bạn có nhiều người tham dự và không thể dành toàn bộ thời gian của họ cho bạn. Thay vào đó, hãy học cách hòa nhập với những người khác trong bữa tiệc. Bạn có thể thử phá băng bằng cách giới thiệu bản thân với một người có vẻ ngoài thân thiện.

Trước khi rời bữa tiệc, hãy nhớ cảm ơn chủ nhà trước. Nếu có thời gian, bạn thậm chí có thể đề nghị giúp chủ nhà dọn dẹp nơi này

1. Bạn sẽ làm gì nếu được mời dự tiệc?

2. Bạn nên làm gì trong bữa tiệc để giúp đỡ chủ nhà?

3. Bạn có thể làm gì nếu bạn không biết ai trong bữa tiệc?
