<b>PREPARING A DINNER PARTY</b>

Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new friends and give others
the chance to get to know each other better.

It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women and
men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.

When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians,
or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious season.

Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main course and a dessert, plus lots of people’s
favourite drinks.

The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can
help you carry it.

On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get
hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time – you
have earned it.

<b> Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.</b>

The nuclear family, consisting of mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than
American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had
been led to believe reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different
American groups.

<b>The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the </b>
traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still
living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is single
people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists
of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced

parents, with at least one child.
