Read Sophie’s blog about a band called SuperSummer. Are the sentences right (✔)
or wrong ((✘)?
)?

Hi! My name’s Sophie and I love music. I’d like to hear from other
SuperSummer fans! Send me a message! I don’t listen to much rap
but I love listening to any pop music! SuperSummer are the best band
around at the moment, I think. I love listening to their music with my
friend, Carla. We often do that and we really liked their last album,
Alone. Did you? I like Zed best. He usually plays the guitar but on their
last album, he also played the drums. Carla’s a bigger fan of Jack, the
one on keyboards. Carla wants to play that instrument really well too,
but she’s still learning. I had my first lesson on the guitar last week. My
fingers hurt so much! Carla and I couldn’t go to SuperSummer’s last
concert in the park! Were you there? Tell us about it @sophienclara97!
