The weekend is coming soon! I am thinking about what I want to do this weekend. It’s best to first clean the house, then go to the supermarket to buy things. In the afternoon, I want to go for a walk in the park. The park is quieter than the mall, and I can rest there for a while. In the evening, I plan to watch a movie. This kind of weekend is much more relaxing than usual.
