Activity 2
Pair work
Last Friday night, my friend invited me to his birthday party…
Last Friday night, my friend invited me to her costume party. I got dressed and showed up on time. I met many friends that I had not seen for a long time. They asked me to sing a song, but I am not good at singing. So I felt embarrassed at first, but then I told them a funny story which made everyone laugh. We stayed up fairly late. I got up late the next morning and I was a little tired.
