Edited:

I have 3 good friends, last night I invited one of them to go to the cinema with me this morning. I booked the tickets online in advance. We haven’t met for 2 months because she is currently pregnant, so when I saw her this morning I was surprised because she is fatter than the last time we met. I thought this was funny but she didn’t care at all. I was on-time today so she gifted me a cup of yogurt as she knew I never usually have breakfast. There is something wrong with my stomach. This morning we watched the premier of The Beauty and the Beast. It was a long film, more than 2 hours but we both enjoyed it because the film was so wonderful. The actors, actresses and the music were all amazing. After we finished watching the film we went to a Thai restaurant to have lunch together. We both like Thai food very much, she ate a lot. I think that after two months when I see her again, she will probably be fatter. I hope she will always be happy and healthy.

I have 3 good friends, last night I invited one of them to go to the cinema with me this morning. I booked the tickets online in advance. The film started at 10:50. We haven’t met for 2 months because she is pregnant, so when I saw her this morning I was surprised that she is fatter than before I laughed but she didn’t care at all. I was on-time today so she awarded me a cup of yogurt as she new I always never have breakfast. Does something wrong with my stomach. She often remembered. Today the film is Beauty and the Beast, this is the premier. It was a long film, more than 2 hours but we both enjoyed it because the film was so wonderful. The movie stars and the music were amazing. After we finished watching the film we went to a Thai restaurant to have lunch together. We all like Thai food very much, she ate a lot again. I think maybe after two months when I see her she must be get much fatter. I hope her always happy and healthy.
