Hello everybody. Welcome back to daily easy English Expressions.
Depression today's podcast is brought to you by some new sponsors.
Thank you very much. I'll say hi to them at the end of the podcast and You too if you can join us become a sponsor become an investor in your education Okay today's expression is great.
It is let's throw a party excuse me, let's throw a party.
So, party, you know birthday party, wedding party, anniversary party, retirement party, there are many Christmas party, New Year's party, there are many types of parties, a dinner party.
Now some parties are loud, they have music, people are singing and dancing, maybe they're drinking anyway, it's loud And some parties are much more quiet, very relaxed, very enjoyable.
There's some classical music and the conversation is light and it's much more serious.
So there's a difference in the verb that we use so if you want to have a nice quiet party, maybe for your grandmother who's 97 years old.
You might want to have a party, but if you're like me...no that's not true for me, I have a party, but if you're like a lot of people, you know, let's say you're 25 years old.
Do you want to have a party or do you want to throw a party, have a good time, be with your friends, and I don't know, go drink and go dancing, play games.
Lots of people do, in that case, you throw a party.
T -H -R -O -W. Yes, of course you can throw a party for your grandmother, but having a party is more – no, I had – you know, my grandmother, she died, but I remember the last birthday party I went to.
For my great -grandmother, she was 93 years old.
That was a great time.
It was the last birthday party that she had.
To be honest, the party lasted for 30 minutes because she needed to take a nap.
It wasn't too loud.
We sang Happy Birthday.
That was about it. So we had a party for my grandmother.
We didn't throw one.
But for me on my birthday, December 22nd, oh absolutely.
My grandparents would throw me a party and it was a great time.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Are you gonna throw a party?
For what? It's your birthday.
I'm too old for birthday parties.
Pfft. Oh, come on. Yeah, I know some of you, maybe many of you, agree, I'm too old for birthday parties.
Well, hey, a birthday party doesn't have to be five people, ten people, fifty people.
A birthday party can be just you.
Or maybe you and your loved one, you and your close family, it doesn't have to be big.
and birthday parties, you know, yes you're a year older, but hey, that's life.
Every year, every day, every second you're getting older.
So don't cry about it.
Don't hide from it, except it.
Now with age comes wisdom.
Hopefully with age comes wrinkles.
That's the truth, but you get smarter, You get to know things better, and that's a good thing now for me You know I'm 47 years old and my birthday coming this year is this gonna be my 48th?
birthday really oh My God yeah this December.
I'm gonna be 48. I'm getting close to 50 and you know what So what I remember when I was young like in high school, and I loved my birthday I never understood my dad who hated his birthday parties.
No just sing happy birthday.
That's it. No party no party.
No party Now I understand.
Yeah, I'm not into the parties I like a quiet birthday, but I do like my birthday and I hope that you do too So tell me do you like to have birthday parties for yourself?
Or do you like people to throw you a birthday party?
You got to pick one of them.
Don't be shy of your birthday.
Don't be embarrassed about your birthday.
Be happy. Yeah. Happy birthday.
It's cool. It's an anniversary.
It's a day that you can sit back and say, I made it another year.
Was it a good year?
Was it a bad year? What were the good things?
What were the bad things?
If you had lots of good things, maybe you should throw a party.
If you had lots of bad things, maybe you should just have a small, quiet party.
If it's your birthday, happy birthday.
If it's not, well, then happy birthday on your birthday, okay?
Let's check out the dialogue two more times.
Are you going to throw a party?
For what? It's your birthday!
Ha, I'm too old for birthday parties.
Are you going to throw a party?
For what? It's your birthday.
Ha. I'm too old for birthday parties.
