Weekends (B1, PET) For me the first good thing about the weekend is that I don’t have to go to work. I like my job, but I have to spend all day inside, in an office, and I’m a person who loves being outside. Another good thing is that I don’t have to get up early. During the week I have to get up at half past six every day. It’s not too bad in the summer but I hate it in the winter when it’s dark in the morning. But above all, I like the weekend because I have time to do all the things I really enjoy doing, like listening to music, reading, or going out with friends. However, there are some things I don’t like about the weekend. Firstly, I have to go shopping on Saturday morning and the supermarket is always crowded. Secondly, on Saturday we always have lunch with my wife’s family. Although my mother-in-law is a good cook and her food is delicious, I don’t usually have a good time. The family always argue and we end up watching TV, which I think is boring. But in general, I love the weekend. I often get a bit depressed on Sunday afternoon when I know that the weekend is nearly over.
