📖 Reading Comprehension

Lis le texte, puis réponds aux questions.

It's Saturday afternoon in Central Park. The sun is shining, and a lot of people are enjoying the warm weather. Near the lake, two children are feeding the ducks with pieces of bread. Their mother is sitting on a bench and is reading a book, but she is not paying much attention to it — she keeps looking up at her kids.

A little further away, a group of teenagers are playing frisbee on the grass. One of them, Marco, is running fast to catch the disc, but he isn't watching where he's going, and he almost is falling over a dog! The dog's owner is laughing and is taking a photo with her phone.

Meanwhile, an old man is standing near a food cart. He is buying an ice cream, and the vendor is smiling as she hands it to him. Everyone in the park, it seems, is having a wonderful day.
