Final communication mission
Your friend Elena could not join your weekend trip. Leave her a 60–90 second voice message in Italian about a day in Bologna. Say when you arrived, who travelled with you, what you did before and after lunch, and why a later plan changed. Use at least six completed-action verbs, including two with essere and two with avere. End by asking Elena what she did. Check that your events are in order and that participles agree after essere.
