Mary suggested going for a drink.

Jane refused and explained that she had promised to help her mum prepare the party, her dad was fifty the following day.

Mary was surprised and said that he looked much younger.She inquired if he did any sports.

Jane explained that he used to play tennis but he had to stop because of his elbow. Jane invited Mary to come to the party if she liked and added that it started at 6.

Mary thanked and accepted the invitation.She wondered if she could offer her help in the preparations.

Jane agreed and said that there would be over sixty people so they really needed a lot of help.

Mary advised that they should use a catering company,they could prepare the food and clean up afterwards.

Jane admitted that it was a good idea, but her mum wouldn't hear of anyone except her preparing her dad's birthday cake.

Artthere are many different types of arts in the world. the most popular ones are cinema, theater, literature, music and painting. i’d like to tell you a little bit about each of these arts. first of all, my favourite type of art is music. it has always fascinated me how people create such melodic tunes. i love all genres of music, be it jazz, classical, pop, rock, reggae, opera, blues or else. music can change my mood. if i’m sad i try to listen to something cheerful, for example, to disco music. if i want to think in loneliness, i prefer alternative rock. i’m glad that there are so many devices nowadays which allow us to listen to music everywhere we wish. it includes radios, mp-3 players, cd-players, mobile phones. my second favourite type of art is literature. i like reading interesting novels and detective stories. i also value the works of famous writers and poets. speaking of russian writers i’ve read some works of pushkin, lermontov, tolstoy, turgenev, dostoevsky and mayakovski. their works are world-famous and many books have been translated into other languages. theater is gradually becoming an outdated type of art. on the contrary, cinemas become more popular. there are many great theatres and large cinemas in russia. i think people should respect the work of actors and attend theatres more often. as for me, i don’t really like cinemas. if i want to watch a new movie, i buy and watch it at home. painting is another form of art. museums and art galleries have always attracted me. i think that painting is a rather interesting activity. one of my friends is really good at it. he is going to enter the university of arts after graduating from school. his works include oil paintings and pastel. i really admire his talent. i wish i could be as good at painting as him.
