Lesson1.
I’m Having a Ball-
party!
1.Dialogue
Moses doesn’t drink but he was invited(in-vay-ted) to a party where everybody is supposed() to
get drunk. He doesn’t want to turn down the invitation though he’s a bit worried that he
would(woud) feel left out and a wall flower.
Rick: Yeah, why not? Just because you chose to be sober doesn’t mean that you
can’t have fun.
Moses: I already have an idea of how the party will go. There will be a lot of
booze and could extend until early morning.
Rick: Then don’t stay that long. Just show up, hang around for a couple(ko-pol) of
hours then make a graceful(grays-ful) exit.
Rick: I know. Let me give you more suggestions(su-jes-tion). If you only plan to stay
for an hour, make this clear(aclar esto con el anfitron) to the host. Remember
that if you have a great
exit-strategy(stra-te-ji), you should(shoud) be able to leave when you want to.
Rick: Always have a drink in your hand, even if it's just a club soda or a
caffeinated(ka-fe-nated) beverage. Avoid constantly talking(to-king) about
how you're not drinking alcohol, or pointing out how drunk some people are;
that
could(coud) really be a turn off.
Rick : Lastly, use the party to your advantage(ad-van-tej) Don't think that being sober is a
drawback(draw-back).
Make new friends. Who knows? You could meet a babe out(awt) there.
