"My Typical Weekend"

Hi! My name is Lisa, and I want to tell you about my typical weekend. On Saturday mornings, I wake up late and have a big breakfast. Then, I usually go shopping with my mom. In the afternoon, we cook lunch together and enjoy a nice family meal.

On Sunday, I like to relax. I spend the morning reading books or listening to music. Sometimes, I visit my grandparents and help them in their garden. In the evening, I prepare for the week ahead by organizing my school bag and planning my schedule.
