F2F Class Notes (Tanya) [w]

Writing exercise

correction

I went to a party last week. It was held by the hotel close to our office and I have sometimes arranged for the company’s guests to stay there. So it was kind of a reciprocal party. It was held on the roof of the hotel. It’s a good place to have a business party. Unfortunately, my company won’t arrange a party at that place because of the limited budget. They prepared delicious food, drinks and gifts for all the guests. There also had good shows, music and a handsome DJ. But I think the guests were all shy like me, so no one danced which was a pity.
