On Sunday I
get up later than usual,
make my bed,
go to the bathroom,
wash my face and
clean my teeth. Then
we have breakfast.
Then I
go outside to play with my friends. Sometimes I
invite them to my house
to play PS or computer games. We like to spend time together! In winter we go skiing. In summer my father and I go to the swimming pool.
At 6 o’clock
we have dinner. After dinner we
have a rest. My mother watches TV, my younger sister sleeps and my father
surfs the Internet. I usually go to my room,
read a book,
listen to music or
play MineCraft . Then I do my homework for the next week. Then I
go to bed, jolly and happy.

1. My Lovely Weekends
I go to school five days a week, so I have two
days off — Saturday and Sunday (I'm lucky, because some other pupils have the only one day off). During the week I am very busy, so I like to
have a rest on weekends.
I am not an early riser and it is a rare Saturday or Sunday when I
get up before 9 o'clock. I enjoy staying in bed, when I don't have to hurry anywhere. I like weekends very much, because
I can rest and gain some energy for the next week.
