HETERONYM: LIVE

“On Saturday, my friends and I watched a live concert online. The singers laughed and talked to the audience, and it felt exciting to join in while it was happening. My cousin and her family live in the city, so they could actually go to the concert in person. They always say they want to live close to the music scene so they never miss events. At school the next day, our science teacher reminded us that plants and animals need food and water to live, and people need friendship to live happily.”
