Running parties

In some parts of the country, especially where the weather's always good, it's common for groups

of friends to organise running parties. 1. They put on sports clothes: trainers,

tracksuits, joggers, sweatshirts. They run through the trees, they climb hills, they jump over

rivers and they try not to fall. And when they get back to their cars, they have a picnic and relax

in the fresh air. 2.

Cooking parties

If you don't know how to cook, you should try a cooking party! Once a week, usually at the

weekend, a group of friends meets in someone's kitchen. 3. Two of them do the

shopping to buy the food, while the others do the cooking on the day. 4. There's only

one rule: if they cook very badly, they have to pay for coffee and sweets for everyone!

Theme parties

5 . One of my favourites is a film character party. All the guests dress up as their

favourite character from a film, and the others have to guess who they are. Can you imagine

Shrek meeting Darth Vader?! You can try some interesting food, make new friends and have a

good time - and there's usually some good film music to dance to. 6.

Match the sentences A–F with the gaps 1–6 in the text.

A Before that, they decide what food to prepare.

B But don't forget: your costume should be easy to move around in!

C Then they sit down and all enjoy a meal together.

D It's a great way to mix exercise, food and friends.

E They drive their cars to the starting point and everyone gets ready.

F Theme parties are also very fashionable these days
