1. 2. 3.

Haile : Hey, Matilda. I am going to throw a party for our best friend’s daughter, Cindy, to celebrate her birthday. Can you help me
organise everything?
Matilda : Of course, I would love to do that. What are we going to do?
Haile : I am trying to find a party concept first. Do you know what Cindy likes most?
Matilda : You know Cindy loves eating doughnuts much. Why don’t we prepare everything with the doughnut concept?

Haile : Great idea. Let’s start with the shopping list. What do we need for such a party?
Matilda : Cakes, beverages, decorations, gifts. Everything will be in the doughnut concept.
Haile : Let’s call some of the other friends to make them help us.

(Haile makes phone calls for half an hour. Then continues to talk with Matilda.)
Haile : I have called several friends to help us.
Matilda : Then what?

Haile : Jason is going to bring the cake. Samantha is going to bring some pink balloons.
Matilda : What about the doughnuts?
Haile : I am going to prepare them.

Matilda : Do you want me to bring the beverages?
Haile : It would be great, but don’t forget the milkshakes with doughnut topping. In addition, Kevin and Tom are going to
prepare the invitation cards.
Matilda : I guess Fiona will bring the party hats because she is a party organiser. Besides, she is going to bring doughnut
cards. There will be different sentences on them. We are going to stick them on the walls for decoration.
Haile : You’re right. We also need doughnuts with jelly and sugar powder. Do you want to bring them too?

Matilda : Yeah. No problem for me.
Haile : Fiona is also going to prepare the gift boxes. There will be four doughnuts in each box.
Matilda : As far as I have understood, everyone except Lilly will help us get prepared. What about her?

Haile : Unfortunately, she is not coming because of her illness. One more thing. We are going to have a dress code too.
Matilda : Say it pink. A doughnut party full of pink colour… It will be amazing, ha!
