To "get a kick out of" something means to get a buzz; a good or excited feeling.

(edit)

My experience (having used similar devices for vocabulary building) is that once you start using those words often (and not as part of a memorisation exercise!), you will gradually let go of those connections as the words spring to mind naturally. The key, of course, is to practice conversation regularly even if you feel you don't yet have the vocabulary.

It seems like a spelling error - it could be "for"

1. Narcotic (amphetamine) 2. Under the influence of narcotics; energised 3. Rear-end (the phrase implies that he is under sever pressure) Hope this helps.

Hi 1. Events is appropriate because presumably there are many events held to celebrate National Day. If there was only one event, or if you are talking about one particular event, the singular may be appropriate. 2. I can assure you "2 people" is correct.
