Part 3 Social relations. Unit 10 Party!

I went to a big party last night. The hosts were celebrating something so they'd decided to push the boat out: there was a really good band, fantastic food and lots of drink. I chatted to a few people for the first hour - just the usual small talk. Then I met this great guy. We got talking and we really hit it off. I'm seeing him tomorrow! |
