Modern life isn't easy that's why people need weekends for rest. At my weekends I do a lot of interesting things and make my life more interesting. I walk with my friends. We can go to the cinema or to the cafe. That's very pleasure to enjoy movie or food with your friends talking about everything. Also, I can stay at home if the weather too bad. I have a lot hobbies at home. I can read book or watch TV or draw pictures or dancing. Besides, I can surf the Internet and find new friends. Nevertheless, I have some duties like cleaning my room, doing homework.
