All right boys, this weekend will be very busy. We need to plan it now. Please listen carefully, ok? Well, Mike, this weekend you do not have tennis lessons. And let me see… Yes, your basketball training starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday and finishes around 11.45. You’ll have your lunch at school so don’t forget to put your sandwich in your backpack before you leave the house. I’ll prepare your sandwich the way you like, with cheese, tomato, and cucumber. You can buy something to drink from the school cafeteria. But no fizzy drinks, ok Mike? You can have a bottle of apple or orange juice. Do not buy chocolate or ice cream because we’ll go to a restaurant, and you can have dessert there after dinner. And Tom, your Spanish course starts at 11:30 on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday. This week the lessons will be in another room. Let me check the message your Spanish teacher sent to me. Yes, the course will be on the second floor in the main building in Room 22. It is next to the art room. OK, that’s all! Now, go and get ready for the dinner.

Hi, I’m Sandra. I live with my cat Lucky. I have different tasks to do at home. On Mondays, I usually walk to the supermarket near my home to buy groceries. I’m a vegetarian so I eat lots of vegetables and fruits. My favorite fruits are grapes and pears. On Tuesdays, I clean the house. First, I vacuum the carpets. My cat Lucky usually watches me doing the house chores. Then, I sweep the floors. Finally, I clean the windows. That is the chore that I hate doing but I have to do it every week in winter because it rains a lot. And I love watching outside in rainy weather. It’s more fun when the windows are clean.

Hi guys. I’ve made a plan for the picnic to make sure that our picnic is well-organized and enjoyable for everyone. So, we’re going to Green Meadow Park, which is on Park Lane, Cityville on Saturday, June 20th. We’ll meet at school at 11 a.m. and walk to the park. It will take around 20 minutes, so we’ll be there before 11.30 if everyone arrives on time. Amy will be responsible for food. First, we decided to prepare hot dogs or pizza, but then we changed our mind because they’ll be cold so Amy will bring sandwiches for everyone. Luke will be bringing the fruit salad and Henry will bake us his special chocolate cookies. Patrick will be in charge of drinks, and Luke will help him carry the water and juices. Now, let’s go through the picnic supplies. Derek will bring the picnic blanket and utensils. Oh, wait no it’s Sandra… She will bring the forks and knives and spoons. We will need disposable plates, cups, napkins, and trash bags. And Tracy is the one who will bring them. Ryan said that he could bring the soccer ball, frisbee, and board games. You can bring your books with you if you like. Oh, and please make sure that you have your hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen with you because it’s going to be a very hot day. Ms. Daisy will have a first aid kit with her. I guess we’ll pack up all our belongings and head home by 4:00 PM. No need to remind but we need to collect all trash and dispose of it properly and make sure the picnic area is clean before leaving. Oh, and of course you can bring your cameras to take photos to remember the day! Yes, I think that’s it. Any questions?

Last weekend, I decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and take a trip to the countryside with my friends. We had been planning this trip for a while, and I was excited to finally get some fresh air and enjoy nature.
We started our journey early on Saturday morning. The weather was perfect—sunny but not too hot. We packed our bags, filled the car with snacks, and set off on our adventure. The drive took about two hours, and as we left the city behind, the scenery began to change. Tall buildings and busy streets gave way to green fields, rolling hills, and small villages. It felt like we were entering a different world.
Our destination was a small village surrounded by beautiful green hills. When we arrived, the first thing we did was check into our guesthouse. It was a charming little place with wooden beams, a cozy fireplace, and a lovely garden. The owner was very friendly and gave us great tips on what to see and do in the area.
In the afternoon, we decided to explore the village. We walked along the narrow streets, admiring the old stone houses and colorful gardens. We visited a local market where we bought some homemade cheese and fresh bread. The people in the village were so welcoming, and it was nice to experience a slower pace of life.

That evening, we found a quiet spot near a lake and watched the sunset. The sky was painted in shades of pink, orange, and purple, and the reflection on the water was breathtaking. We sat there for a while, just enjoying the peace. It was a perfect end to our first day.
On Sunday, we woke up early and decided to go hiking in the hills. We followed a trail that took us through forests and along small streams. The hike was challenging at times, but the views were worth it. At the top of the hill, we stopped for a picnic. We laid out a blanket, unpacked our food, and enjoyed a simple meal with an incredible view of the valley below.
After our hike, we returned to the village and had dinner at a local restaurant. The food was delicious, and we tried some traditional countryside dishes that we had never had before. We spent the evening chatting and laughing, feeling content and relaxed.
As we drove back to the city on Sunday evening, I felt refreshed and recharged. The trip had been exactly what I needed—a break from the noise and stress of everyday life. I realized how important it is to take time for yourself, to disconnect from technology, and to reconnect with nature. I’m already looking forward to our next adventure.

Julia recently went on a trip to Paris, France, for a week-long vacation. She packed a variety of clothes to suit different activities and weather conditions. Julia took with her three pairs of comfortable walking shoes, two pairs of jeans, five T-shirts, and a light jacket. She also packed a dress for a fancy dinner she planned to attend at a high-end restaurant.
During her trip, Julia visited several famous landmarks. She spent a morning exploring the Eiffel Tower, followed by an afternoon at the Louvre Museum, where she admired the Mona Lisa. On the third day, Julia took a boat tour along the Seine River, which she found relaxing and enjoyable.
Julia also spent time exploring local neighborhoods. She enjoyed wandering through Montmartre, where she visited charming boutiques and small cafés. However, she found the crowds at the Notre-Dame Cathedral to be overwhelming and decided to skip the long lines to get inside.
In addition to sightseeing, Julia made sure to experience the local cuisine. She tried traditional French pastries, such as croissants and éclairs, and dined at a variety of bistros. While she loved the food, Julia wasn’t a fan of the strong French coffee, which she found too bitter for her taste.
Julia’s trip to Paris was a mix of sightseeing, cultural experiences, and culinary adventures. Despite a few dislikes, she thoroughly enjoyed her time in the city and would love to return in the future.
