A: that was a great party. Thanks for saying behind to help me clear up.
B; it certainly was a great party. Its a pity that a glass and a plate got broken and someone spilled a drink over there.
A: I expected that something might get broken. That doesnt bother me. That spilled drink wont leave a stain4 ,will it?
B: I doubt it, I ll deal with it right away. Luckily it wasnt a glass of red wine, Ill just get a bowl of water and a cloth.
A: Im going to put all the rubbish into this big plastic bag.
B: afterwards, we can do the washing up together. Everything will be finished within an hour. Your friend keith is really funny. I liked his magic tricks.
A; yes, hes very good.. isnt he? He told some funny stories too.
B: amanda told some very funny jokes. At the beginning of the party, she was being ver serious.
A; I think that she had a litter too much of the punch5.
B: what did you put in that punch? It tasted great, but was quite strong.
A: thats my little secret. Did you lke the snacks and I prepared?
B: very much. The birthday cake was delicious, wasnt it? Emily told me that she and karen made it themselves.
A: that cake tasted so good! It disappeared within minutes, so I think everyone liked it a lot. Hows that stain?
