Transcript (for teacher): "Last month, our class went to the city theatre. We saw a comedy play called "The Lost Ticket". It was very funny! The main characters were a forgetful man and his clever dog. The story was about the man losing his train ticket and the dog helping him find it. The actors used loud voices and big movements so everyone could see and hear them. My favourite part was the ending when the dog actually found the ticket in the man's own pocket! The scenery was simple but colourful. I learned that comedies make you laugh, but they can also tell a nice story."
