P1 – Make the party “invitation only” so that you limit the numbers you invite.
Never ask more people then you can keep under control. It possible, print your invitations or make them difficult to copy.
P2 – Discuss everything with your parents before the party. Make sure you agree on important things, e.g. when the party is going to end and what is allowed or not allowed.
P3 – Make sure your guests do not break things. Put everything valuable in the house away.
P4 – Ask friends to come back the next day to help you clear up after the party. Leave a whole day to help you clear up.
P5 – Always ask who’s there before opening the door – not just at parties. Be careful about gatecrashers. Have a parent or some other adult around to help
you if you need it. If possible, always open the door yourself because you know who you invited.
P6 – Have plenty of good music. This is very important. Before the party make a tape of your favourite songs. It Is boring to wait while someone chooses what to put on next.

T – Today we’ll speak about cardinal (кількісні) and
ordinal (порядкові) numerals. Cardinal number is a number such as1, 2, or 3, that shows how many of something there are, but not what order they are in.
