Answer 1

Last weekend I WAS at Tara's birthday party. It WAS great! There WERE 10 of us, mostly from the acting group. It WAS a theme party - the topic WAS Ancient Egypt. Tara WAS Cleopatra, Lee was Tutankhamen, Luke and I WERE famous archaeologists. Sara WAS a mummy and Pino WAS a scroll of papyrus. Sara and Pino were really funny, they weren't able to move around much! The food WERE delicious, especially the cake. It WAS in the shape of a pyramid. There WERE some palm trees around and there WAS a camel next to it. There WERE 10 golden cups and plates and a big bowl of tropical fruit.We played a lot of games. For example, Treasure Hunt. There WERE some clues on the walls. Each correct answer WAS a step further to the treasure - a goodie bag with some chocolate coins, jelly spiders and snakes, and a DVD called Mummy.

We also played musical chairs. We were supposed to walk like Egyptians in the pyramid paintings. That WAS really funny! The mummy contest was even funnier - roll your friend up in toilet paper. I WAS the fastest.

In the end, there WAS a quiz about Egypt. The questions WERE quite difficult. All the questions started with "Who was...?" or "What were...?". For example, "Who WAS Cleopatra?" or "What WERE hieroglyphs?" We had a great time. We WERE very noisy, but Tara's mum wasn't angry. She had a lot of fun, too. The party WAS over at 11.
