Lilit / Armenia 
What is a fun party you attended?
Hello, my name is Lilit, and I'm from Armenia. Today, my question is, what is a fun party that you attended?
For me, a fun party that I've attended recently was my friend's 25th birthday. We rented a lovely house in the countryside, and about 10 or 12 friends were invited to the party. And we went there by car.
Although we didn't stay the night, we had a really great day. There was a really large garden with lots of fruit trees and pavilions and a place to play some games. And there was a large pool where we swam all morning and we sunbathed. And then in the evening we made barbecue. We also had lots of pizza and all sorts of junk food, which I really love by the way. And then in the evening, we played some card games, some board games together, and it was lots of fun. We had music playing on the speakers really loudly, and we were lucky because there weren't any neighbors around. So there was no one to complain about the noise. So yeah, I really enjoyed this party.
