Weekend Routine 1
Hi there! I'm Lisa, and I want to tell you about my
weekend routine. On Saturdays and Sundays, I like to
relax and enjoy my free time.
Saturday:
On Saturdays, I usually wake up around 9 AM. I have
a leisurely breakfast – I eat cereal and drink orange
juice. Then, I take a walk in the park. I love being
outdoors and breathing in the fresh air. In the
afternoon, I meet up with my friends. We often go to
the movies or grab a coffee at a café. In the evening, I
stay in and watch TV. I like crime dramas. Before bed,
I read a book for about 30 minutes. I go to sleep
around 11 PM.
Sunday:
Sundays are a bit different. I sleep in a bit longer, waking up around 10 AM. I make pancakes for
breakfast – I enjoy cooking simple meals. After breakfast, I do some cleaning around the house. I
vacuum the floors and do the dishes. In the afternoon, I sometimes visit my family. We have a big
lunch together. Sunday evenings are for preparing for the upcoming week. I choose my outfits and
pack my bag. I also like to take a relaxing bath. I go to bed at the same time as on Saturdays.
I really cherish my weekend routine. It helps me recharge for the week ahead.
