[Music] Hello listeners, welcome to this episode of The Gift Show, a podcast series by Radio Lingüas, the radio of the official school of languages of Vigo. My name is Elena and I'm accompanied by Berlin, Euphemia and Hannah, who are going to talk about some of the best presents they have ever received. We could say that choosing the right gift is a craft, almost an art, it takes time, effort and knowledge to get it exactly right, and when it does, it's a great pleasure for both the giver and the receiver. So, let's now listen to the stories of today's guests. This present I have ever received was given to me by my son, five years ago. It was a movie written up called Movie Maker, which I have downloaded when he was only three years old. I absolutely loved it and I used it to create more than a hundred family videos. Unfortunately, one day the app wasn't available on Google Pay Store and the copy that I had uploaded on my laptop couldn't be transferred to another device. I kept using my laptop for as long as possible, but eventually it broke down and I lost the application. Although I tried other apps such as Canva, Filmora or CapCut, none of them had all the features of Movie Maker. Finally, my son uploaded an English version of the app and gave it to me on Christmas Eve. Definitely, it was the best present I had ever received. The best present I have ever received was at the trip to Morocco. That my daughter gave me for my birthday. It was not only a material gift but also an experience that allowed me to relax and spend quality time together. I really appreciated the effort and taught behind it as it created lasting memories, rather than just another object. I remember I especially lived. My father gave me when I was five. He told me my eyes lit up when I saw it. He brought back a toy, called it "Thin Asim" with two silent cartoons, cartridges. I had to insert the cartridge into the project and turn a crank. We projected the cartoons on a wide box. We repeated and posted the scenes we like best. I called it "My Friends" and suggested we watch movies in my kitchen, but they had to pay a ticket. We consisted in something like food that we ate together after the movies before going to play outside. So for a while, we had our own home cinema. That was all for today's show. Remember, you can listen to more episodes of the gift show and discover many other series we do in our school on our website www.radialingwast.eu. You are listening to Radio Linguas, the radio of the official School of Languages of Vigo, for Languages and Radio, come together.
