Last Saturday, when I woke up, I found
my dog, Fox, waiting for me. I was very
hungry, so first I had breakfast. I had a
glass of milk and a piece of toast. After
that, I cooked a chocolate cake. It tasted
very good, I loved it!

Then, I brushed my teeth and put on a warm jacket, because

it was really cold outside. It was a typical winter day, with lots
of gray clouds.

Fox and I went out, and walked to the park near my home. Fox
ran and jumped with other dogs. I sat on a bench the whole
time. When my hands were very cold, I decided it was time to
go back home. When we arrived home, we watched T.V.
together. It was nice sitting home right next to the heater.

It was a wonderful weekend!

My Weekend
Last weekend, my family and I visited my grandparents.
They live far from home. We took a bus at the bus station.
I went with my father, Paul, my mother, Mary, and my
sister, Lucy. My sister and I were very happy!
My mother cooked my favorite dish, “fish and chips.” Then,
my grandmother, Josephine, read a book.
The following day, we went to the river where we swam
and fished. We caught a lot of fish, and we grilled them
for lunch. In the afternoon, my grandfather, Andrew, my
father, my sister and I rode horses. It was a wonderful
experience!
