Preparing for Easter
Sandra: Hey Mark, have you started preparing for Easter yet?
Mark: Not really, what do I need to do?
S: Well, first of all, you should think about what you want to do for Easter. Do you want to have a big family gathering or just a small celebration with a few friends?
M: I think I’ll just have a small gathering with some friends.
S: Great, then you’ll need to start thinking about decorations. Painted Easter eggs and colourful baskets are always a hit. And don’t forget about the Easter bunny!
M: Oh right, I almost forgot about it. I’ll need to buy some chocolate eggs and maybe an Easter bunny costume.
S: That’s a good idea. And what about food? Do you want to have a traditional Easter feast or something more casual?
M: I think I’ll go for something casual. Maybe some ham and salads.
S: Sounds good to me. And don’t forget to hide some Easter eggs around the garden for your guests to find!
M: Oh, right. I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, Sandra. And speaking of Easter eggs, do you know how to paint them?
S: Yes, I do and I like using natural colours made from vegetables or fruits. It’s a fun activity to do with friends or family.
M: Yes, that does sound like fun. Maybe we can do it together.
S: That’s a great idea.
M: Do you have any suggestions for Easter basket fillers?
S: You could add some candy, small toys, or even some homemade cookies. And don’t forget to add a little Easter grass to the basket for decoration.
M: That really sounds perfect. Thanks for the suggestions, Sandra. Do you have any plans for Easter?
S: Yes, I’m going to visit my family. Easter is a wonderful time to spend with loved ones and create new memories. I’m looking forward to it this year again.
M: Have a great Easter, then!
S: Thanks, happy Easter to you too!
