Faculty of English- DNU Page 17


SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS FOR ENGLISH 1

My name is Bella. I love Sunday because there is no school and I have a lot of free time to relax

do many leisure activities.

In the morning, after having breakfast, I often call some of my friends to ask them to go

shopping with me. We spend the whole morning going shopping and and having lunch in a

restaurant. Then, I come back home to sleep. In the afternoon, in the summer, I often go

swimming with my neighbors. We both love swimming because it is good for our health. In

winter, we go jogging in the central park instead. In the evening, I usually have dinner with my

family during weekend, so we can talk with each other and share our stories. After dinner, I

sometimes listen to music or surf the Internet to chat with friends or check Facebook. I always

go to bed early because I have to go to university to study.
