PART A TEXT. THE WILSONS' PARTY

Mr and Mrs Wilson invited all their friends and neighbours to a party last night. They stayed home all day yesterday and pre­pared for the party.

In the morning the Wilsons worked outside. Their daughter Margaret cleaned the yard. Their son Bob painted the fence. Mrs Wilson planted flowers in the garden and Mr Wilson fixed their broken front steps.

In the afternoon the Wilsons worked inside the house. Marga­ret washed the floors and vacuumed the living-room carpet. Bob dusted the furniture and cleaned the basement. Mr and Mrs Wilson stayed in the kitchen all afternoon. He cooked spaghetti for dinner and she baked apple pies for dessert.

The Wilsons finished all their work at 6 o'clock. Their house looked beautiful inside and out!

Everybody enjoyed the Wilsons' party last night. The guests arrived at about 7.30. After they arrived, they all sat in the living--room. They ate cheese and crackers, drank wine and talked. Some people talked about their children. Other people talked about the weather. And everybody talked about how beautiful the Wilsons' house looked inside and out!

The Wilsons served dinner in the dining-room at 9.00. Every­body enjoyed the meal very much They liked Mr Wilson's spaghetti and they "loved" Mrs Wilson's apple pie. In fact everybody asked for seconds.

After dinner they sat in the living-room again. First Bob Wil­son played the piano and his sister Margaret sang. Then Mr and Mrs Wilson showed slides of their trip to Hawaii.
