T02 STMG - Jenny's Chinese portrait

dans la catégorie T02 STMG

Today we listened to Jenny's Chinese portrait.

You can listen to it again here :

If Jenny were a colour, she would be bright pink because it's her favourite colour.

If she were a food, she would be tomato because she loves tomato salad, tomato sauce...

If she were a day, she would be Saturday because it's a good day to stay in bed. She doesn't like Mondays because it's the start of the week.

If she were a celebrity she would be a beautiful woman so that George Clooney falls in love with her.

If she were a season, she would be Summer because she likes hot weather.

If she were a number, she would be number 9 because her birthday is on August, 9th.
