🕒 5-7 min

Yesterday was Saturday. I woke up at 7:00 AM. I was very hungry! First, I ate a big breakfast. I had toast, eggs, and juice. It was delicious. After breakfast, I cleaned my small apartment. I washed the dishes and cleaned the floor. It was a little messy before.

Around 10:00 AM, I went to the supermarket. I bought some food for the weekend. I got apples, bread, milk, and some chicken. Then, I walked back home. The bags were heavy!

In the afternoon, around 1:00 PM, I went to the park. The sun was bright, and the weather was nice and warm. My friend, Anna, was there with her dog, Lucky. I saw them near the big tree. Anna and I talked for a long time. Lucky played with my dog, Max. They ran and jumped. We stayed at the park for about two hours. It was a lot of fun.

After the park, around 3:00 PM, I went to the library. I needed a new book. I looked at many books. Finally, I chose a mystery book. I checked it out.

When I got home, it was 4:30 PM. I felt a little tired. I took a short rest. Then, I cooked dinner. I made a simple chicken and rice dish. It smelled very good!

Last night, around 7:00 PM, I ate dinner. After dinner, I watched a movie on TV. The movie was about a friendly dog. It was very interesting and a little sad. After the movie, I read my new book for about 30 minutes. I went to bed at 10:00 PM. I was very tired but happy. It was a great Saturday!


Today is Sunday. I woke up later today, at 9:00 AM. I had a relaxing morning. I drank coffee and listened to music.

Around 11:00 AM, I visited my parents. They live near the city center. I took the bus to their house. My mom made cookies, and my dad prepared tea. We talked and laughed a lot. We ate all the cookies! I stayed with them for about three hours. It was nice to see them.

In the afternoon, around 3:00 PM, I came back home. I cleaned a little more. I folded my clothes. Then, I called my sister on the phone. We chatted about our week.

In the evening, I prepared for the new week. I organized my bag for work. I made my lunch for Monday. Then, I watched some TV news. I felt ready for the new week. I went to bed at 9:00 PM.

It was a very busy and fun weekend! I did many things. I spent time with friends and family. I rested and prepared for work.
