Manager: Ok, everyone one. Christmas is drawing near. As usual we’ll have a party. We’ll try to make it more fun. Now please read the agenda and we are going to discuss these items one by one.

Thomas: Well, I think it is a good idea. Last year we really had much fun. I hope this year’s party can be even better. I’d like to have the party on the evening of December 24^th.

Sue: I would like to have it in the afternoon, because I think most of the staff would like to spend Christmas eve with their own family.

Tina: I agree with Sue. I have to spend the time with my boyfriend .

Manager: Well, in this case, we’ll have it in the afternoon then . How about the activities?

Ada: As usual, we may have some performances like singing and dancing. Each department in the company can contribute one performance the staff are good at. And it should be something new.

Peter: That’s a good idea. Besides that, we can have some more interactive activities or games that we can participate and have fun.

Helen: Sure, we can have some competitions in the activities and the winner can receive some award.

 Manager: Good, we may organize three or four games. Ada, will you be responsible for organizing activities?

Ada: No problem.

Dina: How about the place? Where are we going to have it? Shall we rent a hall in the conventional center?

Manager：Yeah, you are right. I heard that 150RMB will be OK for two hours. So, will you take care of this , Dina?

Dina: Fine, I can take care of this. I have a friend there.

Manager: That’s fine. Next, we need to discuss who will be invited.

Peter: The MD Mr. Hawk will certainly come with family, and the staff of the company, some of our long-term cooperators , like our suppliers, agents and so forth.

Manager: Ok, the total number should be controlled to fewer than 200. Peter, you are good at communicating with people. So, this is your job now.

Peter: No problem, you’ll got it. Shall we print some invitation cards?

Manager: Sure, we have to send cards to our cooperators if we hope them to come. Now let’s run through how we decorate the hall.

Sue: We can buy a Christmas tree and some colored ribbons, bells to decorate it. We can also buy some papercuts to decorate the window, walls and halls.

Manager: That is certainly very good. So, who will take care of this?

Dina: I know where to buy these stuff. I can, but I need someone to help me.

Michele: Let me give you a hand.

Manager: Ok, then that’s settled too. But don’t forget to control the budget to 300RMB. Finally, the food. We need to prepare some fruits, drinks etc. So, what do you think, Halen?

Halen: Yeah, we need some oranges, grapes, bananas, peanuts, crackers etc. We also need some bottled water. I think I can buy them.

Manager: OK. Halen, thank you very much for taking this. The budget for this part is 400RMB. Seems we have settled everything. One more thing, we need one person to host the party.

Michele: If all of you don’t mind, I can do this part.

Manager: OK, then, thank you for all of you for your cooperation. Now it is already December 10^th, we need to get started now for the preparation. So, hopefully we’ll have a most enjoyable Christmas Party.
