Great weekend
I had a great weekend. On Friday afternoon, I finished work at 5 PM. I went home
and took a shower. Then I went to see a couple of my friends at a bar downtown.
We had a couple of beers and a nice talk.
Tom told us about his new job, and Jim told us about his new girlfriend. After a
while, we went to a restaurant and had pizza. I went to bed late that night, but I
was very happy.
On Saturday morning I went running in the park. I ran 5 kilometers, and then came
home.
After that, I met my girlfriend for lunch. We went to a Thai restaurant near my
house. I love Thai food!
I spent the evening with my girlfriend, watching TV on the sofa.
The next day, I got up and caught the train to my parents’ town. I usually go to see
my parents on Sundays, at least twice a month.
My mom usually makes a roast, and we go for a walk in the park or in the country
after lunch.
This weekend was a bit different, though. My parents took me out for a nice lunch,
because it was my birthday. After lunch, we took a walk (as usual) and then I
caught the train back to London.
Now it’s Monday and I’m back at work, but I’ve got big plans for next weekend!
 The family
Shawn’s family is not very big. His mother and father live in a flat in London. His
father works in an insurance company, and his mother is a nurse. Shawn shares a
flat with two friends and works in a restaurant. He has two sisters, Lucy and Millie,
who live together in Southampton.
Shawn has a girlfriend, and Lucy has a boyfriend, but Millie is single.
Shawn’s girlfriend’s name is Maria, and she’s Italian. He’s in love with her, and with
her dog. He loves going for a walk with Maria and her dog.
At weekends, Lucy and Millie come to London and the whole family has lunch
together. Sometimes one of their aunts or uncles come, too.
Shawn’s grandparents are very old, and they live in a small cottage in Plymouth.
They’re his mother’s parents. His father’s parents died years ago. Shawn’s
grandparents are retired, and spend most of their time gardening, walking and
having tea with their friends.
A few times a year, Shawn goes to spend some time with his grandparents. His
grandmother makes excellent fruit pies. Sometimes, his cousins come, too, and
they all have a great time.

Daily Routines
Yesterday I got up at 8:30 in the morning. After I made some coffee, I got dressed
and went to the bank because I had to pay the rent. The bank is only a couple
blocks away, so I got there in a few minutes. There wasn’t a long line when I got in,
so I paid the rent and left.
Afterwards I went to the butcher’s to get some meat. I also stopped at the market
to get some tomatoes. I wanted to make pasta. When I got home I wrote a couple
of emails.
After a while I started getting hungry, so I decided to get to work on lunch. I put the
tomatoes in a pot to cook with the meat, and I put some water on to boil.
After a while the water got hot and I put in the pasta. I cooked it for a few minutes
and then sat down to eat.
After lunch, I drank some more coffee and then got ready for work. It takes me
about 20 minutes to get to work from where I live.
I was at work for a few hours, on Fridays I only give 2 classes.
I got off work at 8:30 and went to my girlfriend’s house. We went to drink a beer in
her neighborhood. I was getting very hungry, so when I got home I made some
fried eggs. After that I did some reading and went to sleep.
