M y favorite day of the week is Saturday because L it's the first day of the
weekend!
I get up very early during the week, so on Saturday it's nice to get up late,
and I always stay in bed until about 10:30. Then I usually go shopping with a friend.
In Mexico stores are sometimes closed on Sundays, so Saturday is the best
day for shopping. We don't always buy anything, but we have fun just looking. I
often have lunch with my mother and my brother. It's great because my mom is a
really good cook and she always makes things we like, and my brother and I have
time to talk about our week. After lunch, I sometimes study from about 4:00 to
6:00, especially if I have exams.
e Now write your article. Choose which of your ideas
you want to use. Don't forget to use some of the
highlighted words to link together your ideas. f Check your
article for mistakes. Show your article
to another student. Find one thing in your partner's article that is the
same for you.
In the evening, I usually go out with my friends. We often go to the movies, and then we
have a pizza or tacos. I never go to bed before 1:00, or sometimes later.
