Last weekend
What did you do last weekend?
I had a great weekend last weekend. On Friday I went to a bar with my friends. I ate a delicious hamburger and french fries. I entered a pool tournament and I played really well. I won the tournament and won 15 euro. I was very happy. I met new people from Germany and they showed me a popular drink in Germany that is similar to a Bloody Mary.
On Saturday I was a bit tired. I stayed in bed until 11 o’clock in the morning and then I had a nice brunch. I ate toast with tomatoes and mushrooms and I drank coffee. I went out and walked around the town where I live with my girlfriend. We went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables. My bags were heavy and we walked home up the hill. My girlfriend made Lasagna for dinner and then we watched a movie.
