📖 Reading

My name is Lucy and this is my family. We are from Canada, but now we are on holiday in Spain. My mother and father are here with me, and my little brother is here too. He is only five years old. Our hotel is near the beach. It is not big, but it is very nice. The rooms are clean, and the people are friendly. There is a swimming pool behind the hotel, and there are two restaurants next to it. Today the weather is sunny and hot. My brother is happy because he is at the pool. My parents are on the beach. They are under a big umbrella with their books. I am in my room. I am a little tired today. Tomorrow we are at a museum in the city centre. It is famous for its art. My mother is very excited because she loves paintings. My brother is not excited. He says museums are boring, but I think he is wrong!
