JAMES: Oh, he’s not so bad – as long as we don’t have any rock music. Do you remember how he danced at Frank’s wedding?!
ANNA: I wasn’t there. I wish I had seen it!
SAM: He was wild! I think we should invite them both. Auntie Daphne would be so upset if you didn’t invite her.
DAD: OK. ... Auntie Daphne and Uncle George ... and what about the neighbours? I think the Thompsons are going to be in America in June, but they wouldn’t be very happy if we didn’t tell them. And the Chens, shall we invite them?
JAMES: Yes, of course! And if you asked them, you would have to invite their daughter, Mei Ling ... oh, and their son, of course.
DAD: Right... Mr and Mrs Chen, Mei Ling and Jia Sheng.
ANNA: Do you think Mum knows about the party?
DAD: I don’t know. It’s hard to keep secrets from her!

The “Titanic” was a British luxury passenger liner which sank during its maiden (первый) voyage from Southampton to New York in 1912. On 14th April, the Titanic' hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Distress signals were sent to the “Californian”, a ship 20 miles away, but their radio operator was off duty and the signals were not received. Some of the passengers got into lifeboats, but although the “Titanic” was luxurious, it did not have enough lifeboats for all the passengers on board. As a result, the loss of life was great. Many people died because the sea was very cold. Luckily, another ship, the “Carpathia”, rescued some of the passengers. As a result of this disaster, new rules were made to ensure that sea voyages would be safer in future. It is now believed that the “Titanic” sank so quickly because it was too large.
