I have been reading the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling for quite a while now, and I just love it! I like watching the movies too. There are many imaginary creatures, characters, books, spells, charms and objects in the books.
J.K. Rowling is one of my favourite authors, along with Roald Dahl and David Walliams. Do you like reading Harry Potter? The next thing I’m looking forward to is the new Harry Potter sequel. It is a play and a book called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and it's coming out in July! I'm also looking forward to the next Harry Potter movie, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books, Theethad, but they are certainly popular and highly regarded. The films look fun too. I believe the new play and book coming out that you mentioned, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, were written by somebody called Jack Thorne, and based on a story by J.K. Rowling. Hopefully that and the new movie you mentioned live up to the high expectations of the many Harry Potter fans. — Editor
SPECTACULAR SERIES
Hello. My name is James. Do you know Descendants of the Sun? It is a Korean drama. I'm a huge fan of this drama.
Descendants of the Sun is spectacular. It is the first Korean drama that I've ever watched. If you have time, you should watch it. This drama teaches us about the importance and sacrifice of doctors and soldiers. It makes us realise the honour of these careers.
You'll regret it if you don't watch this drama.

Thanks for telling us about your favourite show, James. Personally I just don't have time to watch TV these days, and if I do manage to find any spare time I'd rather read or listen to music. But I remember how fun it can be to discover a favourite new show and to feel the excitement of watching each new episode. Have fun! — Editor
FUN IN THE SUN
Hello, my name is Aim. Last week I had an opportunity to travel to Hua Hin, where you can see the charming sea and beautiful sky. I enjoyed eating seafood and made some sand castles. But the trip wouldn't have been perfect if I didn't get to go with my lovely family. I hope everybody enjoyed the trip as much as me.

It sounds like you had a great time with your family at the beach, Aim. It's hard not to have fun at the beach, and if you're in good company, all the better. Those kinds of holidays are something you'll never forget. — Editor
