My Day Off

People spend their days off in different ways. Some of them prefer to stay in town and to visit an art exhibition, a museum, a cinema or a sports event. Other people prefer to spend their days off out of town.

I prefer to spend my day off sometimes in the country, sometimes in the city. Sometimes I take part in sports events, which usually take place during the weekends.

I study six days a week. On Sundays I get up later than usual. After breakfast I go to the park with my friends. Sometimes we go to the stadium. We all enjoy skating. We are also football fans. We often play football or tennis. In summer I like to swim in the lake or in the river, both of which are not far from my house.

I always help my parents in the yard. I clean my room and iron my clothes myself. On Sunday evening we go either to the theatre or to the cinema. There are many theatres in Tashkent, and sometimes we go to the theatre. Usually, we buy tickets beforehand. Late in the evening I watch TV, and go to bed at 11 o’clock.
