Conversations:

 

Peter, Anne, Susie,

and Maisie: 

 

Anne: 

 

Yes, I always go

shopping Saturday.

 

The first thing

I do on Saturday

is the drive to

the supermarket. 

 

Susie: 

 

I sometimes go

shopping on Saturdays,

but usually,

I sleep late.

 

I'm always

so tired on Saturdays.

 

Maisie: 

 

I'm never tired

on the weekend!

 

The weekend

is a time for fun!

 

I paint, go jogging,

go out with

some friends.

 

Unfortunately,

I sometimes

have to study...

 

Anne:

 

Oh! I sometimes

do a little work

at the weekend...

 

When I'm free

I like going swimming,

going to exhibitions

or to concerts,

if I have money.

 

Oh! and every Sunday

I clean up

the entire flat, 

and in the evening 

I watch TV.

 

Susie:

 

Oh! I never watch TV.

It's boring.

Peter and I going to

the cinema at

the weekend.

 

Peter:

 

Yes, It's important

not to watch

too much TV.

 

An hour a day or so,

that's enough.

 

Maisie:

 

Come on, guys!

You talk like

my grandfather!

 

Work! TV,

homework

on the weekends...

life is more.

 

Peter:

 

I want you

to take me

to places where 

young people have fun!

 

Maisie:

 

Great!

Get ready, grandpa?

 

Peter:

 

Maisie,

I bet you

don't wake up

at six o'clock every day...

 

Tell us something

about your typical day

at university.

 

Maisie:

 

well, I sometimes

have classes

in the morning;

but I usually

have classes

in the afternoon.

 

On Mondays,

I always attend lectures

in the morning.

 

Peter:

 

And where do you study?

 

Meisie:

 

I usually study

in the library, 

but I sometimes

study at home, too;

when I don't have classes

in the morning.

 

Peter:

 

My friend David

also studies

at your university.

 

Do you remember him?

 

Meisie:

 

David Leever!

Yes, I occasionally see him

in the library

and sometimes

in the park.

 

Peter:

 

In the park!

Doing what?

 

Meisie:

 

He likes studying there.

 

He takes his books,

finds a nice park bench

and read there.

 

Peter:

 

Not a bad idea.

 

You can study

and enjoy nature

at the same time.

 

Meisie:

 

 

Yes, I like the park, too.

Unfortunately,

I often need books 

that are in the library.

 

Peter:

 

And what about lunch?

Do you usually

make Sandwiches

and take them with you?

 

Meisie:

 

Oh no, I hate cooking.

I usually

have lunch

in the cafeteria 

with friends.

 

Susie:

 

Oh, I do just the opposite,

I usually

cook lunch at home,

I seldom

have a quick lunch

at coffee shops.

 

Peter:

 

Ok. Guys!

Stop with this boring talk!

What about fun?

Do any of you

do anything

besides working

and studying?

It's Friday,

remember!

 

Anne:

 

You're right Jack,

I'm so happy

it's Friday.

 

Peter:

 

Me too!

It's the weekend time!

 

Susie:

 

Time for shopping!
