My Weekend

On Saturday, it was sunny and there was no rain. I woke up at nine o'clock in the morning and I took a shower. I went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. I had breakfast in front of my TV. I tried to find something interesting but it was all boring. I switched off my TV and drove my car to the shopping centre in Box Hill. I arrived at the shopping centre at eleven o'clock. I walked to the supermarket and bought some food for the cat. There were so many things on special. I bought tomato paste and noodles.

I left the supermarket and went to the news agency. I bought two computer magazines and a newspaper. I bought the Age newspaper because it had an employment section. The employment section has hundreds of job ads. My sister is looking for work and I want to help her find a good one. She goes on the internet and tries to find a job as a nurse.

I drove my car and went to visit a friend. I stayed at my friend’s house for about one hour. After leaving my friend’s house, I went to the gym. I always go to the gym on the weekend. I did some exercises at the gym for one hour. After that I took a shower and went with a couple of friends to the cinema. We watched a new movie. It was funny and we all liked it. 

 After leaving the cinema, we went to a restaurant in Camberwell and had a meal. The restaurant we chose was not expensive. We stayed at the restaurant for nearly one hour and then I drove my car back home. At home, I played with my cat for some time then I went on the internet. I have a business that I run on the internet. I sell plastic toys online and my customers buy my products and send me money. I do online banking to see how much money I have every day. I go to the post office every day during the week to send the toys to my customers. I make good money because the plastic toys that I sell are really good. 

Many children like them and they ask their parents to buy them. They feel happy when they get them. On Sunday, I sleep for a long time. I leave bed at eleven o'clock in the morning and then go out with my friends. We do different things. Sometimes we go outside Melbourne and spend a nice time in the country or at the beach. Sometimes we take our bikes and ride a few kilometres. I usually come back home before midnight. When I come home on Sunday, I always feel tired.
