Jill / Australia 
What did you do last night?
Hi everyone. My name is Jill and I'm from Australia. And my question today is, what did you do last night?
I had a really fun night last night. I got to meet with some friends that I hadn't seen in a while, so my friend cooked dinner for us, and so we went to her place and we sat together, we ate all of the food, and we talked. We laughed and we danced a little all through the night. She made a beautiful dish with mushroom rice and chicken and potatoes, and afterwards we helped clean, so we vacuumed her living room. We cleaned the dishes, and then we decided that we wanted some dessert. And so we walked to the nearest bubble tea shop where we laughed so much that we were scared we were going to get kicked out, but we didn't. And so we sat, we laughed, we talked, and then I had to say goodnight and come home for the evening. What about you? What did you do last night? Did you do anything fun?
