根据短文内容回答下列问题。

    We have a two-day holiday every week. We don't have any lessons on Saturdays or Sundays, so every weekend I have a good time.

    On weekends, I like taking a trip. I sometimes go to the country with my classmates by bus to breathe(呼吸) the fresh air, watch the green hills and the blue sea, and walk in the beauty of the countryside. Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw many pictures and take photos. Sometimes I go to visit a place of interest with my parents by car.

    Sometimes on Saturdays, I take a long trip with my parents. We don't go home at night and make a fire on the hill. We sit around it, singing and dancing happily. If we feel tired, we get together, look at the stars and chat for a long time. And then sleep for a few hours.

    My weekends are always full of interest and happiness.
