Tá Magda, Síofra, Liam agus Seán ag an bpictiúrlann. Scannán aicsin 3T atá ar siúl ar an scáileán mór. Tá na páistí go léir ag caitheamh spéaclaí 3T.

Tá siad ag ithe grán rósta agus tá deoch ag Liam freisin. Is scannán lán d’aicsean é. Tá na laochra ag troid leis an droch-charachtar. Tá gunna ina lámh ag an droch-charachtar.

Tá claíomh mór ag laoch amháin agus bogha is saighead ag an laoch eile. Tá pléascadh tar éis tarlú agus tá carr trí thine! Tá acroí ina béal ag Magda.

Féach, tá cúpla duine déanach don scannán. Tá siad ag lorg a gcuid suíochán, le cabhair ón bhfreastalaí.

Translation of the story:At the Cinema

Magda, Síofra, Liam and John are at the cinema. There is a 3D action movie on the big screen. All the children are wearing 3D glasses. They are eating popcorn and Liam also has a drink.It's a movie full of action. The heroes are fighting the evil character. The bad character has a gun in his hand. One warrior has a large sword and the other has a bow and arrow. An explosion has taken place and a car is on fire! Magda's heart is in her mouth. Look, a few people are late for the movie. They are looking for their seats, with the help of the attendant.
