Class correction

Sample answer: My sister and I attended the F5 tour at the National
Stadium last night. I could sum up the concert in one word, INCREDIBLE.
We found our way up to our seats after having a light meal and stood in a
queue at the gate of the stadium for 45 minutes. When the curtain was
raised to reveal the F5 band, the entire stadium went absolutely crazy.
I was thrilled by every of their performances. There was so much emotion
in many of their songs, and the way they performed was so terrific. This
was such a wonderful experience, a night that I'll never forget. I'm so
grateful to have been able to have that experience.
