Susan had a party last week. She had invited all her friends to her house. She had invited her
friends from work, her friends from university, and her friends from her neighborhood. The
guests started arriving at around 7  o’clock for dinner.

Susan’s best friend, Cindy, was there, wearing a red dress. And Susan’s boyfriend, Tom, was
wearing a blue suit and looked very handsome.
Cindy’s boyfriend wasn’t there, because he was travelling for business. He was negotiating
a big contract in Sao Paolo that day. He had left the day before, and wouldn’t be back for two
more days.

Susan had made lasagna, which was very good. She had made enough lasagna for 30
people! She had also made salad and stuffed eggplant. Everything was delicious.

Her friends brought wine to the party. Everybody talked and drank wine and had a good time.
While they were eating, they talked about their lives and about the political situation in their
country (which was terrible, like everywhere else).

Susan hadn’t made anything for dessert, so they ate chocolate ice cream, which was
delicious.

Around 11  o’clock everyone left, except Cindy, who stayed to help Susan clean up.

Some people caught taxis to go home, and some people took the subway. Other people
walked.
After Susan and Cindy had finished cleaning up, they sat on the sofa and had another glass
of wine and relaxed. It had been a good night, and they were both very tired.
 TRADUCCIÓN
Susan hizo una fiesta la semana pasada. Había invitado a todos sus amigos a su casa. Había
invitado a sus amigos del trabajo, a sus amigos de la universidad y a sus amigos de su
vecindario. Los invitados empezaron a llegar alrededor de las 7 en punto para cenar.

La mejor amiga de Susan, Cindy, estaba allí, con un vestido rojo. Y el novio de Susan, Tom,
vestía un traje azul y se veía muy guapo.

El novio de Cindy no estaba allí porque viajaba por negocios. Ese día estaba negociando un
gran contrato en Sao Paolo. Se había marchado el día anterior y no volvería hasta dentro de
dos días.

Susan había hecho lasaña, que estaba muy rica. ¡Había hecho suficiente lasaña para 30
personas! También había preparado ensalada y berenjena rellena. Todo estuvo delicioso.

Sus amigos trajeron vino a la fiesta. Todo el mundo hablaba, bebía vino y se divertía. Mientras
comían, hablaban de sus vidas y de la situación política de su país (que era terrible, como en
todas partes).

Susan no había hecho nada de postre, así que comieron helado de chocolate, que estaba
delicioso.

Alrededor de las 11 en punto, todos se fueron, excepto Cindy, que se quedó para ayudar a
Susan a limpiar.

Algunas personas tomaron taxis para irse a casa y otras tomaron el metro. Otras personas
caminaron.

Después de que Susan y Cindy terminaron de limpiar, se sentaron en el sofá, tomaron otra copa
de vino y se relajaron. Había sido una buena noche y ambos estaban muy cansados.
