Questions for discussion:

1. Imagine! A celebration is going to start in a week or so!
   What should we do? How generally does it depend on a particular event? A birthday party, the school-living party, the graduation, the (or a) wedding, the defence of thesis?
   What are your anticipations and expectations?
   What was about the celebration of this New Year?
2. What usual scenario do you have to celebrate any kind of event?
   Please, remember, how was it the last year? What about invitations, buying food and drinks, gifts? What things go first?
3. Imagine! A celebration is about to start! What should we do then? What is your approach to
   last-minute decisions (about food, drinks, gifts)? Have anything ever changed your plans for a celebration completely unexpectedly? I mean, 10 hours before or, even 10 minutes before? What was that and what were the reasons for that?
4. Celebrations of the latest: Christmas, the New Year’s Day, Orthodox Christmas, the Old New Year. Please, remember, how was (if you Can remember, of course) it during this year celebration? What about the parties, friends, their gifts? What are really pleasant things and how many of them can you mention?li>
5. It’s happened! What do you think about the completed festivity?
   And what do you feel about hangover? Has it been continuing until now? Don’t you know some ancient or modern recipes to struggle against this problem? If someone knows, be mercy, tell those who don’t know but desperately need them, please!
6. What impressions do any celebrations give us? Positive, neutral, negative?
   Moneys, which you’ve spent in this period of time were wasted, spent or invested (in your happy future and good fun)? Persuade us in it!
