　　Discussion topics: Family parties

　　范例

　　1. Q: What are the main reasons why people organize family parties in your country?

　　A: To tell you the truth, Chinese people rarely organize parties. We only have big celebrations at important festivals or on our elders, birthdays. Like in my family, we always have a get-together for my grandparents’ birthdays.

　　2. Q: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend?

　　A: I guess this is not the case in China. We just go out for a big feast as a way of celebration. It’s not going to cost much. I also have some friends who spend a lot of money on family events because Chinese people like to show off, and they tend to enjoy luxurious family parties. This trend will change because at present people want to show off in China because there is a significant gap between the rich and poor. Someday in the future, when everybody enjoys a rich life, there is no need to show off.

　　3. Q: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by friends? Why do you think this is?

　　A: I guess they are different. Sometimes friends have a get-together because they miss each other. Or sometimes they hold parties for the sake of business opportunities. Family parties are boring, and family members want to have a reunion at every important festival. It’s a must for them.

　　1. Q: What are the main reasons why people organize family parties in your country?

　　A: The main reasons why people would organize family parties in my country would be to reunite after not seeing each other for a long time. The party would provide an opportunity to tell stories and learn what they have all been doing since we last saw each other. We also try to provide guidance to each other and settle any concerns that we might have.

　　2. Q: In some places people spend a lot of money on parties that celebrate special family events. Is this ever true in your country? Do you think this is a good trend or a bad trend?

　　A: Yes, it is true that we will spend a lot of money to celebrate family events such as a new baby, marriage, a new job, or getting into a good school. I believe that though it is necessary to spend money to organize the party and provide food, drinks, etc. it is just as important to remember why we are there. It is more important to have quality time with family. The interaction happiness of family life is what is important not the money.

　　3. Q: Are there many differences between family parties and parties given by your friends? Why do you think this is?

　　A: There are many differences between my friend’s parties and that of my family. My family parties tend to be more formal and focus on the event that we are celebrating. My parties with my friends tend to be more casual and the main objective is to have fun. I think that while I have fun in both cases they are different types of fun.
