    My friend told me you’re coming next


    week. I decided to plan some activities we
    could do together:

    On Monday, I would like to go with you


    to the movies, there’s a film I love, “Still

    Alice” and they are releasing it at noon.


    After that, we could have a coffee at

    Tostao.
    The good thing is that the café is on Santander’s avenue, in front of your hotel.
    There’s also an exhibition at the museum on Tuesday. Finally, as you know, my

    birthday is on April 15th so we could celebrate it at Silmaril.

    5. Use the clues


    Write a paragraph about what you usually do for Christmas using the prepositions
    “in”, “on” and “at”.
