Passage
Next weekend is going to be very special for Emma. On Saturday morning, she is meeting her cousin at the train station because they are going to visit London together.

Then, they are having lunch at a small Italian restaurant that Emma’s cousin really likes.
In the afternoon, they will probably take a boat trip on the Thames if the weather is good. In the evening, Emma thinks they will see a musical in the West End.
