Model Answers: Let’s Ask Risa

Risa
  1. People often go out for dinner with friends or family. Some people might go out on a date with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Sometimes people have a party at their house and invite friends over to eat cake.
  2. Yes, I have. I go out for dinner with my family every year on my birthday. We usually have yakiniku, though last year we went to an Italian restaurant to try something different.
  3. In Vietnam, everyone celebrates their birthday on New Year’s Day. That means you share your birthday celebrations with the entire country! That sounds pretty cool. Japan used to do this too until fairly recently. I think it changed in the mid- twentieth century.
  4. No, I haven’t. Surprise parties look like too much hard work for not enough of a pay off. And if the person doesn’t like surprises, then it’s pointless.
  5. Yes, I have. When I was younger, I could never remember my mother’s birthday. I would forget it every year. It never seemed to bother her but I still feel guilty thinking about it. Now that I’m older, I have no trouble remembering.
  6. When I was ten, my parents got me my own TV for my bedroom. I think they came to regret it after I started spending so much time in my room.
