PREPARING A DINNER PARTY
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 seasons.
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main
courses 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!

The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport

unity and cooperation among three nations: Japan, the Philippines and China.
The first games were held in Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian
nations participated after it was organized.
After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent.
Many of the new independent Asian countries wanted to use a new type of
competition where Asian dominance should not be shown by violence and
should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects,
such as envelopes or packages with stamps on them. It is one of the world’s
most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to
20 million in the United States alone.
Many collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the
tiny details, but the creation of a large or comprehensive collection generally
requires some philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for those
who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.
Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small
countries that create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be
bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far
exceed the postal needs of the countries.
