Lesson 20

Preparation

My Favorite

Musical Instrument

I can play only one musical instrument,
which is the piano.
I used to have piano lessons when I was
four years old.
My grandfather had three pianos, and they
made different sounds.
Those three pianos took up the space for
other furniture.
Nowdays, I can still play the piano, but I’m
not as good as I was.
However, I can still play my favorite piece,
the Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
