Describe a colorful event that you enjoyed.

• A while back, I went to see a show called The Lion King. I was traveling on holiday in London at that time, with my family. I had heard about that show, so I decided to get tickets for all of us.

• My daughter was dead excited about it. She wasn't at that time, so she was really into animals. My wife was pleased as punch because she had never been to a show in Lon Don before. She said I had been very thoughtful and considerate in buying tickets for us.

• We arrived at the theater, gave in the tickets, and sat down. We were struck by the size of it. The hall was huge. The stage was closed by the large red curtain, and the auditorium had these lovely golden arches in the galleries. Our seats were really comfy, with nice blue covers.

• After a few minutes, the show started and it was wonderful. The costumes were striking, full of different colors and textures. There was an array of lights, reflecting the various colors of Africa. You really felt like you were there, in Africa.

• We loved it, if I had known it was going to be that good, I would have forked out a bit more money to get seats closer to the stage.
