Famous singer Madonna shows Vogue her house in London. She has many special things there. She loves them.

First, she shows a famous painting by Frida Kahlo. She buys it after moving to New York. She also shows things from her family, like her mother’s wooden rosary and a sculpture by her son. Her daughter makes her a warm blanket during COVID quarantine.

In her bedroom, Madonna showsher favorite books and a toy octopus named Octavia. A nurse helps Madonna in the hospital. The toy makes her think of that nurse.

Difficult words: rosary (beads which people use shen they speak to a god), blanket (a soft cover which keeps you warm), nurse (a person who takes care of people in hospital).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
