Dear Mary, Thanks for your email. I am happy to be your friend. I had a very busy weekend. Now let me tell you something about it. On Saturday morning, I got up early. At eleven o' clock, I went shopping in the supermarket. Then I went swimming in the swimming pool(泳池). After that, I had lunch at home and then cleaned the house. In the evening, I went out to ride bikes with my friends in the park. We like riding bikes. On Sunday morning, I also got up early. After breakfast, I read English books. English is my favourite subject(科目). I am good at it. In the afternoon, I visited my grandparents. They live far from my home, so I often go there by bus. This is my weekend. What do you think of it? Write to me and tell me about your weekend! Yours, Lucy |
