My day off
The last two days of the week are Saturday and Sunday. They are called the weekend. People don’t go to work on weekends. But students, schoolgirls and schoolboys have only one day off – it is Sunday.
Weekend is my favorite time of the week because I don’t go to the university. I think Sunday is the best day of the week. On this day I wake up later than usual. And sometimes I don’t get up till nine or ten o’clock. As soon as I get up I air the room, do my bed and do morning exercises. Then I have breakfast and help my mother to clear away the dishes and wash them.
After breakfast I get ready with my homework and when I’m free. I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together. Last Sunday we went to the cinema. We liked the film as it was interesting. There were a lot of people at the cinema.
On Sundays I usually do shopping. My mother tells me what to buy and I go shopping. As a rule I go to the grocery store near my house, but sometimes my mother and I go to malls to buy something for our home.
Sometimes I visit museums, art galleries, theatres. I like the parks and places around Tyumen very much. We spend hours walking in these beautiful parks and admiring the fountains.
In summer on Sundays we like to go to dacha. It’s not far from Tyumen.
There’s a wood near our house. We often go for a walk there. We walk through the fields and along the river. We have a wonderful time. We go swimming in the river. Sometimes we go to pick mushrooms.
In the evening our family gets together. We have guests or visit our relatives. And at about eleven my day off is over, I go to bed.
