Weekends are my favourite time of the week because I can relax and do fun things. On Saturday morning, I usually wake up late around nine o'clock. I eat a big breakfast with my family while talking about our plans. In the afternoon, I often meet my friends at the local park. We like to ride our bicycles or play badminton together. Sometimes we go to the public library to read comic books and borrow new novels. On Sunday evening, I help my parents cook dinner and then I prepare my school bag for Monday. I really enjoy my weekends because they give me energy for the new week. It is great to have time for fun and rest.

Use it for ideas. Say it your own way.
