A Then, the play started. It surprised us because it was really funny. When the actors asked for a volunteer I didn’t put my hand up. But, yes, you guessed — they chose me! Next, they gave me some funny clothes to put on. All the people in my class were laughing and clapping every time I spoke in French.
