First, sleep. On Sunday I sleep until ten hours. Wake up, wash my face, I'm going to the kitchen where my mother cooked something delicious.
If I had a Saturday to do all the lessons, I - a free bird. You can watch TV, read books, you can call your friends and go for a walk, ride a bike in the summer or skiing in winter.But above all, I love the Sunday evening at home. When we are having dinner, talking, discussing all our affairs. My father likes to joke, we laugh a lot. And we drink tea with matusynym cake with cherries. It's so delicious! Then you can see a bit of TV. I like adventure books. And there sleep time. Tomorrow school.
