听一分钟英文：Parties-派对

I love parties. They are always so much fun. I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon or evening than going² to a party. You meet people, eat delicious³ food, and have lots of fun. I’ve always loved parties. I remember the birthday parties I had⁴ as⁵ a child. Such⁶ wonderful memories⁷. I also remember the first parties I went to as a teenager⁸ – all night parties where we danced and chatted⁹ until¹⁰ morning. I’ve lost count of the number of parties I’ve been to. Dinner parties, beach parties, New Year’s Eve¹ parties, birthday parties… the list goes on. One party I’d really like to go to is the Queen’s garden party. Of course¹¹ this is in England. If you go to this party, it means¹² you’ve done something special in life¹³. All I have to do now is think of something special to do!
