Last Saturday, Matthieu and I went to the funfair. I wanted to go on the roller coaster, but Matthieu was a bit scared. We decided to go on the bumper cars, and it was great fun ! Then, I bought candy floss [US: cotton candy] but Matthieu doesn't like that, so he had a toffee apple [US: candy apple]. I find them too hard, but my candy floss [US: cotton candy] was delicious! And in the end, Matthieu agreed to try the roller coaster, and he liked it a lot !

Getting that for you now...
