Children’s parties

Children’s parties are getting very expensive in the UK today. Everyone likes a party, especially when
it’s a child’s birthday. A birthday is a very important day in the year. Children love the presents, the
cards and the party. The problem is… the money. It’s like a competition for the children and the
parents. The children want to invite ALL their friends, not only one or two. They want a big cake not
a small one, new clothes and wonderful games. They want their party to be special. The parents
have to spend a lot of money on all these things. Some parents pay a party planner to organise their
child’s party. That is very expensive. It is very popular today to have a special children’s show at the
party. This is fun and the children love it but it is also expensive. There is usually a lot of food and
drink at the party for the children and their parents. And the birthday child often gives presents to all
his/her friends when they go home. A lot of money! Matt Kelsall and his wife are organising a party
for their daughter, Katy. ‘It’s crazy,’ says Mark. ‘But all her friends have big, expensive parties and we
have to organise a big party too! She’s only three years old. What about when she’s a teenager?!

Choose the best answer:

1 Today on their birthday children like

A to go out with a lot of friends. B to invite a lot of friends to a party.

2 Parents pay a party planner to

A give a special show. B organise the party.
