Today We have decided to write about "The Best Party Ever" in 230 words. Mention: - Where, who with and when. - What you did. - Anecdotes - Include pictures (do not include names) My Example: A Great New Year's. Although I am not quite a party person the best venue for me is getting together with my best friends and sharing a memorable moment just like the one you can see in the picture which was taken last year for New Year’s Eve at my place and it was even more especial because I had as a guest my best friend from life who lives down south and travelled all the way to Santiago to spend the celebrations with us. That day we “all mixed forces” and brought different ingredients so we all cooked a very special meal: we ate a sort of Indian rice, I cooked meat and “choripanes” and the rest made their best with different salads even creating new dishes like salad with green leaves and different fruit and another very nice and lovely salad made up with orange...
