LESSON E MY BIRTHDAY PARTY
1. READ AND LISTEN TO THE RADIO AD. WHY ALL THE TOWNS ARE GOING TO
BE AT ALONDRA’S BIRTHDAY?
Broadcaster: Good Afternoon my friends, I hope that you enjoyed the last song “Cuando te ame” by
Julion Alvarez, with all the love that I have for all of you, remember, this is the best radio station here in
Ixmiquilpan, Hidalgo. Today I have good news for all the party people out there. The Torres Family
invites you all to celebrate with them the sweet fifteen of their daughter Alondra that they are going
to celebrate next Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in Casino San Miguel, where Alondra’s parents are going to
give the best party of the town. To explaining all the details, Mr. Torres is here to give us the news.
Welcome Mr. Torres.
Miss Torres: Good afternoon. As my friend say, I come here because we are going to celebrate my
daughter’s birthday and we want to invite all of you. In the party you are going to enjoy good music,
“Sebastian Yatra” is going to play at the party. The dinner is going to be something especial; we are
going to have mac and cheese, bacon-covered shrimp and truffle cake for dessert. They are my
doughter’s favorites.
