Enigmatic is afraid of you more than you are afraid of him. It didn't hurt anyone. Also, it helped us in football matches.

So you knew all this? Of course. I knew the truth. I'm his best friend. Enigmatic is friendly.

He is doing research on our planet. He is trying to understand us. That's all. Why didn't you tell us?

Because people can be afraid of him. They can hurt him or do experiments on him.

We must tell the teachers about it. No. We shouldn't tell them. They will disqualify us from the football tournament.

Arda is right. It didn't hurt us all this time. It isn't evil. We should keep it secret.

This is crazy. There is an alien in the room and you think about the football cup. We must tell the teachers and everyone agrees with me.

She looks around. No one speaks. You agree with me, right?

We have an alien friend. He has got a teleportation machine. It's awesome. I don't want to lose it.

I agree with Raj. If we tell the teachers, everyone learns.

And we can't know what happens next. People do very bad things to animals. They can do bad things to an alien too.

We can't protect enigmatic from bad people. Yes, I mean.

Also, people can learn about the alien technology and use it to do bad things.

I don't understand. You weren't friends with enigmatic five minutes ago. Now you want to protect it.

It's different. Now we know it's an alien. This explains everything. It isn't weird now. It is cool.

Listen to me. There are some things we don't share with adults, but this isn't one of them. This isn't a joke.

He is an alien. They must know this.

At that moment, enigmatic steps forward.

You can tell them after the football tournament next month. But first, let me help you in the finals.

No. We must tell them today. Let's vote. We can't vote something like this. We must tell the teachers.

You don't want to tell? Fine. So I'll tell them.

You tell the teachers. You lose all your friends. Are you ready for that?

Yasmin doesn't answer him. She looks around. Everyone in the room agrees with Jamie.

I can't believe it. This is wrong.

Suddenly the door opens. Mr. Ruler comes in. He looks at enigmatic. After a long silence, he points at it and stammers.

What? What is it? What's going on here?

Everyone looks around. They don't know what to say. Taylor has an idea.

A fancy dress party.

Other students join him.

Let's throw a fancy dress party at school.

Yeah. We love fancy dress parties.

Please, Mr. Ruler. Please, please, please.

What do you think about enigmatic costume, Mr. Ruler? Doesn't it look great?

Mr. Ruler looks at enigmatic's height, red skin, big eyes and antennas.

It...it looks silly. Aliens are green. Everyone knows that.

Oh. Yes. You're right.

It's our mistake. We painted this costume red, not green. Anyway, what do you say, Mr. Ruler? Can we throw a costume party at school?

A costume party? It can be a good idea. The football tournament is postponed and everyone feels nervous.

We can have some fun and relax. Also, it is our school's foundation anniversary today. It's very special for us.

We can celebrate it with this party. Order, enigmatic. Organise a costume party for tonight.

Teachers can attend it too. We can have the party at the park at seven o 'clock.

Sure. Don't worry. I'm a great party organizer.

Go to the art class now. Your art teacher is there. You can design your costumes with her today.

Order, enigmatic. You can stay here and organise the party.

Students start leaving the room. But suddenly, Yasmin stops.

Sir, I want to tell you something.

All those students stop and they look at Yasmin.

What do you want to tell me?

Yasmin looks at him, but she can't speak.

What's the problem, Yasmin?

Yasmin looks at enigmatic. Later, she looks at his friends.

I just want to say thank you, sir, for the costume party. You're a great principal.

You're welcome.

He leaves the room.

Order and enigmatic stays in the television room.

Enigmatic changes its appearance and looks like a human being again.

Order takes the remote control of the television and turns the celebration documentary on.

It's a great time to watch the documentary, right? We can learn everything about celebrations and parties.

Let's watch.

A.

Order and enigmatic watch the documentary about celebrations.

There is a problem with the sound system of the television. They can't hear some words.

Fill in the blanks with the party types.

People celebrate many things. They get their diplomas and they throw a graduation party.

Students wear a cap to these parties and they throw their caps at the end of the party.

People also celebrate the day they were born. It's called a birthday party.

At these parties, there is usually a cake and there are candles on it.

The host of the party blows the candles and people give them presents.

Marriage is another reason to throw a party.

This kind of party is called a wedding party.

The bride in the room invite many guests to these parties.

The bride usually wears a white dress. They decorate the place with flowers.

They eat, drink, play music and dance.

A fancy dress party is another kind of party.

People wear costumes to these parties and they have so much fun.

Arda stands up and looks at the sound system. He plugs in the cable again and the system works well now.

Great. Now we can hear everything.

Be. Read and fill in Arda's to -do list and the shopping list for the party.

Don't forget to write the quantity of things in the shopping list.

The documentary continues.

Do you want to throw a party? First, you should prepare a guest list.

Later, write the invitation cards and send them to your guests.

Then, go shopping. You need lots of things for the party.

For example, you should buy a lot of confetti and balloons for the decoration.

Also, you should buy a few party hats.

You can also buy some music CDs.

Don't forget the food and the beverages.

Buy lots of cookies, fruit juice and crisps.

After the shopping, you should decorate the place.

Finally, you can also make small sandwiches at home.

People love eating at parties.

Great. Now we know what to do. You write the invitation cards and I go shopping.

Later, we meet at the park. What do you think?

Enigmatic agrees and Arda goes to the market.

Hi, Arda. What do you want to buy today? See?

Look at the shopping list on page 74 and tell the shopkeeper Arda's needs and their quantity.

D.

The shop assistant gives some extra things to Arda.

Which of the things below aren't in his shopping list?

Put a cross under them.

Sorry. They aren't in your shopping list.

Would you like to buy them too?

Well, my friends may like them.

Okay, I'm buying all of them.

Arda gets out of the market and goes to the park.

Enigmatic is waiting for him. He shows Arda the invitations.

This invitation card is awful.

Why? What is missing?

E.

What is missing in the invitation card of Enigmatic?

Put a tick.

Arda takes colored pencils and prepares a better invitation card.

F.

Add the missing information on the invitation card above and make a better invitation card.

For information about the party, read Mr. Ruler's underlined sentence on page 72.

Arda gives the invitation cards to Enigmatic.

Give these invitation cards to the students and invite them to the party.

I should decorate the park, arrange the music and prepare the food. Okay.

Arda decorates the trees at the park with balloons and he puts all the food on the picnic tables.

Later, he turns the music on. It's five to seven. Suddenly, he remembers.

Oh, I forgot the costume. What should I wear? My friends aren't very punctual.

Maybe I have time to prepare a costume for myself.

But at that moment, the guests start coming. They are all wearing fancy costumes.

Oh, they are punctual today. I'm the host of this party and I look terrible. How bad?

Arda welcomes the guests.

Welcome, Yasimin. Oh, it's a great superhero costume.

Thanks, Arda.

Wow, Raj, you look amazing in that skeleton costume.

Thank you, Arda. Where is your costume?

I couldn't prepare a costume because I prepared everything for the party.

At that moment, Taylor comes. He carries a gift box. He gives it to Arda.

Don't worry, Arda. You organized this party for us. And we designed this costume for you.

Yes, we want to congratulate you because you arranged a great party for us.

Arda smiles and takes the box.

You are great friends. Thank you. Nice gift box. Thanks. I wrapped it.

Arda is very excited. He first tears the gift wrap and then he opens the box.

It's a fish costume.

Everyone laughs.

Don't laugh. It isn't funny. I refuse to wear it. This costume looks silly and I can't walk in it.

Well, you didn't tell us enigmatic as an alien. You cheated and beat us in the football match at the beginning of the semester. So we planned this for you.

We can forgive you, but you must wear this costume today.

It's not fair.

Yes, it is.

They put the fish costume on Arda.

No!

Arda shouts, but they don't listen to him. Later, they take selfies with him and share it on social media.

Arda sits at a picnic table. He is very angry, but everyone else is having fun. They are eating and dancing. Yasamin comes near Arda.

Are you okay?

No. I planned this party and my friends made fun of me. I feel terrible. Look at my legs, Yasamin. I can't walk in this costume. I can't dance. I can't go and take food from that table.

Oh, I can bring some for you. Tell me. What do you want to eat?

Gee. Choose the correct option.

I want some fruit juice and a few cookies.

Would you like some crisps too?

Yes, thank you. I also want a few muffins. They look delicious.

Okay. What about some cake? Would you like some cake?

Yes. Please. Just a little.

I'll get a sandwich. Would you like one?

No, thanks. But I want some fruit.

Okay. Anything else?

Can I have a little water too? I'm thirsty.

Oh, I'm sorry. There isn't any water on the picnic table, but there is a lot of fruit juice. I can bring you some fruit juice.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Yasamin brings Arda food and drinks, and she sits next to him again.

You know it's your fault, right? You always cheat, and you always lie, so you are always in trouble.

What about you? You are always honest, and you never cheat, but you are always in trouble too.

That's because I'm your friend. Please, this time, listen to me. We must tell the teachers the truth about enigmatic.

It is an alien, Arda, an alien. It can be dangerous.

Arda looks at enigmatic. This is a costume party, and it is in its alien form. It's red, and it is got antennas.

It performs an alien dance. It looks funny. Arda points at him.

Look at it, Yasamin. Does it look dangerous?

Yasamin looks at it for a few seconds.

No, it doesn't.

Later, she looks at Arda's silly costume and continues.

You don't look dangerous either, but your decisions affect the future of the world.

After that, she stands up and walks away. She leaves Arda alone with his thoughts.
