📖 Reading
Maria and her brother Tom are very excited today. Next Saturday, their family is going to visit a big theme park in the city for the very first time. Maria is going to go on the biggest roller coaster, but Tom is a little scared. He says he is going to try the water rides instead.
Their mother is going to drive them to the park early in the morning because she doesn't want them to wait in long lines. Their father is going to bring a camera because he wants to take lots of photos. He always says, 'We are going to remember this day forever!'
The weather report says it is going to be sunny and warm, so Maria is going to wear shorts and a T-shirt. Tom is going to bring a small bag with water and snacks. They are not going to buy food at the park because it is very expensive there.
In the evening, the family is going to watch a big fireworks show before they go home. Maria and Tom are already planning what they are going to do next year. They think they are going to visit the same park again, but next time they are going to stay all weekend!
