My name is catherine. i’m fifteen years old. i’ve moved to st. petersburg recently. i study six days a week that’s why i try to spend my only day off merrily and interestingly. in the morning i wake up later than usual. i like to lie slugging a bed and to watch tv. television shows many interesting programmes on sunday. my mother cooks something delicious at the weekend. she bakes cakes or sweet buns. we have breakfast together and then walk around the town. i’m fond of painting that’s why i like to visit art exhibitions. in the evening i meet with friends and we go the cinema. after the film we spend time in any cafe or mcdonalds and compare notes. sometimes i can’t meet with friends and then i spend the whole evening with my parents and elder sister. we go to the theatre or to the concert hall together. i love my day off very much because i can have a good rest and collect my strength for a whole week
