Je m'appelle Camille et je voudrais vous raconter mon week-end dernier. J'ai passé un moment formidable avec mes amis, en jouant à des jeux de société, en chantant du karaoke et en mangeant une délicieuse fondue chinoise.

Le samedi soir, nous avons commencé notre soirée avec un jeu de société très amusant appelé "Dixit". Nous avons ri, nous avons réfléchi et nous avons apprécié le temps que nous avons passé ensemble. Après cela, nous avons décidé de chanter des chansons de karaoke. Nous avons tous choisi nos chansons préférées et nous avons chanté à tue-tête jusqu'à tard dans la nuit. C'était tellement amusant !

Le dimanche matin, nous avons commencé la journée avec une promenade dans le parc. Nous avons admiré les arbres et les fleurs, et nous avons pris de belles photos. Après la promenade, nous sommes allés au marché pour acheter des ingrédients pour notre fondue chinoise. Nous avons acheté des légumes, des champignons, des nouilles, de la viande et des fruits de mer.

Le soir, nous avons préparé notre fondue chinoise et nous avons tous mangé ensemble autour de la table. Nous avons discuté de tout et de rien, nous avons partagé des histoires et nous avons beaucoup ri. Nous avons terminé notre soirée en jouant à un autre jeu de société appelé "Catan". C'était un week-end parfait et je suis très reconnaissante d'avoir des amis merveilleux avec qui passer du temps de qualité.
