My favourite group has recorded a new album!

The audience clapped the actors at the end of the play. It was great!

The show is great for teenagers. It entertains but also educates.

I read online they started filming the new season of my favourite series.

We were too late to book seats for the concert as they had all been sold

If you could interview your favourite celebrity, what would you ask them?

Have you ever performed in a school play?

The film’s main actors were interviewed in last night’s talk show.

“We’ve just recorded a great song.” the band announced.

I like to read the web pages where they review the latest films and series.

The museum was closed today. They were filming scenes from a thriller in some of the rooms.
