52. 参加过的开心的聚会（1-4 月的考题，考生反馈是继续在考旧题，题目略有调整）

Well, several weeks ago, I attended my friend Lisa’s housewarming party287. She had just moved out of her college dorm and into a new apartment. Traditionally, people should hold a housewarming party when they move to a new place, so they’ll have good luck when they live there.

Because of this custom, Lisa invited three friends to her home. And I was one of them.I remember it was a Saturday, she told us to meet up at her apartment at about 5 pm. Of course,every guest brought a housewarming gift for Lisa. And after we arrived, Lisa showed us her new apartment. It was very stylish and clean; I guess she cleaned the apartment from top to bottom288 before we went, ha-ha.

She also prepared hotpot as our party food, then we prepared the dishes for hotpot in the kitchen together. That night, we had lots of beers and talked a lot while enjoying our dinner. We also played some card games to kill time after the dinner.

Actually, that was the first time I’d been at someone’s housewarming party. It was a great bonding experience for all of us. I hope I can own a place in the near future and hold a housewarming party like Lisa did.
