Transcript:
Acabo de pasar tres días con mis amigos en un festival de música. Tuvimos que acampar y no me gustó nada porque los baños y las duchas estaban muy sucios. Había un espacio grande con muchas tiendas de comida. La comida que vendieron fue variada y sabrosa pero muy cara al mismo tiempo. Además, siempre había colas muy largas. Sin embargo, me encantó la música en vivo y lo pasé muy bien.

I have just spent three days with my friends at a music festival. We had to camp and I didn't like it at all because the toilets and showers were very dirty. There was a big space with lots of food shops. The food they sold was varied and tasty but very expensive at the same time. Also, there were always really long queues. However, I loved the live music and I had a very good time.
