Ciao Giulia! Sono Sara 😊
Ho visto online che a luglio c'è un concerto all'Arena di Verona: una band pop-rock. Vuoi venire?

Hi Giulia! It’s Sara 😊
I saw online that in July there’s a concert at the Arena in Verona: a pop-rock band. Do you want to come?
You can buy the tickets on the website. There are two sections: stalls (€45) and stands (€30). I’d rather sit in the stands, but let’s decide together.
What genre do you like most? And what instruments do you like (for example violin, guitar…)?

-
Ti va di venire con me al concerto?
(Do you want to come to the concert with me?)
-
Preferisco…, quindi comprerò i biglietti per…
(I prefer…, so I’ll buy tickets for…)

Domani ti mando il link e ti dirò l'orario.
(Tomorrow I’ll send you the link and tell you the time.)
Hi Sara! Yes, I’d love to come to the Arena. I also prefer the stands: it’s cheaper and that works for me. My favorite genre is pop, but I also listen to rock. I like guitar and violin. Send me the link, please: tomorrow morning I can buy two tickets and then I’ll send you the confirmation. Do you know what time the event starts?
