📖 Reading
My name is Marco, and I am a big fan of movies and music. My favorite day is Friday because there is a new movie at the cinema near my house.
My sister Lila is a singer. She is in a small band with her friends. They are not famous, but they are very good! On Saturdays, they practice in our garage.
This weekend is special. There is a music festival in the park, and there is also a new action movie at the cinema. My friends and I can't decide what to do!
My friend Ana loves actors more than singers. She has got posters of her favorite actors on her bedroom wall. I love music more, so my room has got guitars and drums.
In the end, we have a great plan. In the morning, we are at the music festival. In the evening, we are at the cinema. It is a perfect day for movies and music fans like us!
