Summarize the following:
If you're not sure what to bring, ask your host. They may tell you not to bring anything out of politeness. In this case, respect their request; although, you could still give them a card or a thoughtful note. If you can't bring a gift, a bottle of wine or vase of flowers are good options. Potluck: a dish to share. Birthday party or baby shower: a gift suitable for the recipient. Dinner party: a bottle of wine or a hostess gift. Casual high school or college parties: no gift, unless specified. Try to get plenty of rest the night before the party. That way, you'll be able to stay up late if it's a late night party. Even if it's a daytime party, you still want to have the energy to be sociable and feel your best. Some people will drink coffee or another caffeinated beverage before going out for a late night party. Eat a protein-packed meal before going out. Even if there will be food at the party, you don't want to arrive starving. Listening to some of your favorite music is the perfect way to get excited about a party. It can get you energized and ready to dance, or just put you in a good mood. You can listen to music while you're getting dressed, or while you're driving to the party! Sing along. You'll feel confident and expressive, which is a great way to feel when you arrive at a party. Think about who will be at the party and how you want to interact with them. This can be especially useful if you're shy or don't go out very much. You can make small goals, such as, "I will talk to two new people," or "I will introduce myself to my new coworker that I have a crush on." You can even practice in the mirror if you're really shy. Practice introducing yourself to someone by saying, "Hi, I'm ___. How do you know the host?" Think of topics you can talk about with other guests. Do you follow current events? Have you been working on an interesting project? Can you share a humorous story about the host? Usually, it's assumed that people will arrive at a party a little bit after it's supposed to start. This is called being "fashionably late." If you're shy, you may want to arrive well after the party has started so that you can avoid having to make conversation if there are only a couple of people there early on. Don't be late to dinner parties, children's parties, or parties where a space has been rented for the occasion. Doing so is considered to be rude. Aim to arrive on time.

summary: Prepare anything you need to bring. Get energized. Listen to music. Plan for socializing. Decide when you'll arrive.

Summarize the following:
oil 1 cup (240 ml) of water. Fill a tea kettle or small saucepan with 1 cup of water, and bring it to a boil on the stove over medium-high heat. You can prepare the full amount of water during this step, but you'll only use 1 cup (240 ml) when activating the tea leaves. The rest of the water may need to be reheated before use. Note that the water should be between 158F and 176F (70c and 80c). Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of boiled water into the clean teapot. Swirl the water around slightly to rinse and warm the pot. If possible, try to use a Moroccan teapot. Moroccan teapots vary in size, but a small pot typically holds about a half liter (six glasses) of tea, while a larger pot holds approximately a liter (12 glasses); you can also use an ordinary teapot if you don't have a Moroccan one. Flameproof teapots are ideal when available. Place the tea leaves in the tea pot. You'll need about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of loose gunpowder tea for every 6 oz (177ml) of hot water. If following the quantities noted in this recipe, add the full amount of leaves. Chinese gunpowder tea is the most conventional, but if you are unable to find this tea, you could prepare a similar version of this drink using other loose green tea leaves or green tea bags. Use at least 2 tea bags for every 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of loose tea if choosing this option. Add boiling water to the tea pot, directly over the tea leaves currently in the pot. Swirl the pot gently to warm, rinse, and activate the tea leaves. Allow the tea to steep in the hot water for about 30 seconds. For a stronger flavor, you might consider letting it steep for as long as 1 or 2 minutes. Swirl the pot to wash and rinse the tea leaves, then carefully strain the water out through the spout of the tea pot, keeping the leaves in the pot. The drained liquid is not Moroccan tea. This initial portion of water only rinses the leaves. Some tea pots have strainers in them; others do not. If your pot does not have its own strainer, make sure that you pour the contents through a separate strainer to collect the leaves and return them to the pot.
summary: . Warm the teapot. Add the loose gunpowder tea. Pour in the remaining 3/4 cup (200 ml) of water. Steep briefly. Strain the water.
