My Weekend Plan
Today is a sunny day. This is the weekend plan I wrote. I like traveling and sports very much. I especially like riding a bicycle. Riding a bike is cheaper than taking a car. Riding a bike is very good for my body. My home is extremely close to the big park. The big park is also very close to here. I arrive by riding a bike in just ten minutes. Everyone likes to go to that park. Some people are currently running in the park. Many people walk past my side.
At noon, I go to a big restaurant. I eat dumplings in the restaurant. The dumplings here are especially delicious. The service of the big restaurant is extremely good. I ate a lot and feel extremely full.
In the afternoon, I need to do my homework. My new friend helps me at home. We review in the room together. Because we have an exam next week. Therefore, we must study seriously. We have already finished learning this lesson. We both understood the new lesson. His room is extremely quiet. There is a small tabby cat in the room. That small cat is extremely beautiful. The small cat is looking at me on the table.
In the evening, I take the subway to go home. Today I feel a little bit tired. But I feel extremely happy. I think today is very interesting. Tomorrow I do not want to go outside. If it rains, I will be at home. I can rest at home now.
