Talk about year-end parties in Korea.

Year-end parties are a unique aspect of Korea's holiday season. Most people have lots of get-togethers in December. It's because of these year-end parties. Before the year comes to an end, people gather with friends, acquaintances, and coworkers. They share a meal and mark the occasion of the year's end. People might attend just one or two parties, or as many as firve or six. Drinks are ever-present at these year-end parties. People drink more than usual during this time of year.

 

Talk about a year-end party you have been to this year.

I attended a total of 3 year-end parties this year. First, there was a gathering with my office coworkers. As we ate, we gave each other a pat on the back for pulling together and working hard. The next year-end party I went to was a get-together with my friends. I went to a bar with my oldest friends. The bar had a great ambience, and we had a blast as we drank wine. Finally, I had a year-end party with parishioners at my church. We did volunteer work during the day. Then we parted at night as we ate dinner. These year-end gatherings provided a chance for me to recognize all the great people I know.

 

I'm inviting some friends to my house for dinner tomorrow. Can you come?

I'm not sure yet. I need to check my schedule.

When you decide, please RSVP. I need to know how much food to cook.

Okay, I'll call you before I leave work today.
