Original fictional learning scenario. People, dialogue and personal experiences are created for language practice.

During our visit to the United States, we went to three local festivals. The first was a music festival in a park. We listened to a school band and ate sandwiches on the grass. The second was an apple festival on a farm. My little sister helped put apples into baskets. The third was a winter lights festival in our cousins' town. We wore warm coats and walked through bright streets. My favourite was the farm festival because we could join the activities. My sister liked the lights best and took many photos.
