第四步：详细描述大家在party种的各种丰富活动：有些人在烤肉，有些人在躺椅上晒太阳，……，总之每个人都玩得很愉快

It was obvious that everyone was enjoying the party very much: some were toasting beef, lamb and chicken in the oven, some were lying on a deckchair to get tanned in the strong sunlight, some were playing card games and having arguments occasionally, and some were just talking happily about their future plans under the shade of a large oak tree.

As to me, the most fascinating thing was being able to share a lot of news stories with so many people in the party and to understand their different perspectives.
