PLACES FOR PARTIES

            Jack is planning a birthday party with twenty stars from the worlds of sport, music and films. But Jack isn't famous - and the stars aren't real. He's planning a Party for 60 guests at Madame Tussauds, the famous waxworks museum. Jack says he's really excited about the party because Angelina Jolie is waiting for him there.

            Sue and Olivia are planning a big family party at a famous landmark: the Tower of London. The venue-called the Pavilion- isn't inside the Tower: it's next to it. There's space for 200 guests to have dinner. One wall of the Pavilion has lots of windows and there are amazing views of the Tower at night.

One of my favourite things to do in my free time is snow skiing, and I have recently started snowboarding as well. Fortunately, there are about five ski resorts near my hometown, so there are plenty of places to ski. In order to ski, you need some basic equipment including snow skis, ski poles, ski boots, goggles, and some warm ski clothing. I purchased my equipment last year after the season was over when everything was on sale. Recently, I’ve decided to take up snowboarding, but it's taking a little time to get the hang of it. Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular now that itis an Olympic event.
