Hi! I've been writing a short modern fairy tale for my pupils; it all sounds a bit artificial, unauthentic, but they're second-year students only... Could you please read this, normal speed and quite distinctly? Thank you!
The Princess and the Smartphone
Once upon a time, there was a rich girl who lived in a large house in New York City. Her name was Olivia. She had good marks at school, a big bedroom where she could play and study. She also had a lot of clothes, a beautiful electric guitar, and the last generation technology (a computer and a smartphone). She was crazy about technology.
However, she was not a happy girl. She was extremely shy, she didn’t have many friends, she was being cyberbullied by a group of boys who played in the football team at school. On Facebook or Instagram, they called her “Bambi” because she was shy.
One day, Olivia was feeling particularly sad and isolated. She took out her phone, and a message mysteriously appeared on the screen. “Hello, I am the smartphone fairy. Let me help you make friends!”. Olivia was extremely surprised, but she accepted the proposition.
The fairy explained to Olivia that it was important to talk to an adult about her cyberbullying problems. The fairy also showed Olivia the Facebook and Instagram accounts of two girls in her class who loved playing music and singing, just like her.
So, a few days later, Olivia started talking with the two girls, and invited them to play music in her beautiful house. The three girls played for hours and hours; they had so much fun that they decided to meet again every week-end.
In the end, they became good friends and decided to create a girls’ band: “the techy crazy trio”. They stayed friends forever, had a lot of success, and lived happily ever after.
