LET'S READ! 📖
Situation:
Sam visited her grandmother and her grandmother decided to bring her to a museum.
Sam
Grandma
Of course. I really wanted to bring you here. This museum has a reduction for EU citizens and has a large collection of artifacts from indigenous cultures around the world.
Such relics can teach us so much about the customs of people from the past. They’re like storybooks.
Sam
I didn’t know you were so interested in this, Nana.
Grandma
As you know, your great grandpop is an anthropologist, so I grew up learning about ancient civilizations from him.
Sam
Ahh I see. These things here are all amazing! but I'm sad because taking photographs is prohibited here.
Grandma
You can say that again. After we're done here, I will take you to the other part of this city.
Sam
Really? Where is that, Nana?
Grandma
I'll let you experience a nature tour. We will try wildlife spotting, trekking and bird watching.
Sam
Wow! That sounds exciting. Is it too far from here?
Grandma
Nope. It's just an hour away from the city and you will surely enjoy a lot of scenic views along the way.
Sam
Great. I'm excited!
