Un Nuevo Amigo - LingoNibble

¡Hola! Me llamo Anna. Tengo 25 años. Vivo en Madrid. Hoy es un día hermoso. El sol brilla y el cielo está azul. Estoy caminando por el parque. Veo un perro. El perro es pequeño y marrón. Corre muy rápido. Un hombre joven corre detrás del perro. '¡Para, Max!', dice. El perro se detiene cerca de mí. Acaricio al perro. El hombre sonríe y dice: 'Gracias. Es muy enérgico. Soy Tom'. Yo le devuelvo la sonrisa. 'Encantada de conocerte, Tom. Soy Anna'. Hablamos unos minutos. Tom es muy simpático. Decidimos tomar un café juntos. La cafetería está cerca del parque. Bebemos café y hablamos de nuestros trabajos. Yo soy profesora y Tom es médico. Es un día muy bueno.
