 Mary’s Saturday
Last Saturday was very nice and busy for Mary. She got up very early in
the morning and prepared a nice breakfast for herself. She ate fried
eggs, pancakes, honey, butter, jam and drank a full glass of orange
juice. After breakfast, she took a shower, brushed her teeth
and put on some make-up. She wore her favourite dress and
shoes and left home. The weather was sunny and warm so she
walked to the shopping mall. She met her best friend, Jane
there and they went in and out of the shops together. Mary
bought some clothes for herself, a nice watch for her dad and a
beautiful scarf for her mum. Jane bought a pair of sandals but she
didn’t buy any clothes for herself because she thought she didn’t need any.
After shopping they were both tired and hungry, so they went into a
restaurant. They both had beef steak, rice and salad and talked about
what to do next. They finally decided to watch a drama at the cinema.
Mary bought the tickets and Jane bought some popcorn and fresh orange juice.
The film was very touching so they sometimes hugged each other and wept silently. After the film Mary said
goodbye to her friend and visited the bookshop to have a look at the latest novels. She found a crime novel by her
favourite author and bought it. Then she realized that it was already 3.30 p.m. and she had to hurry up for her
piano course. She took a taxi and met her music teacher just on time. It was 6 p.m. when she finally got home. She
immadiately put on her pyjamas and watched some TV. Then she went to the kitchen and helped her mum
prepare the dinner. Mary made a green salad and set the table while her mum cooked. Soon her father came
home and they ate dinner. After dinner Mary gave her mum and dad their presents. They were both happy
because her father needed a watch and her mum was amazed by the scarf’s colours. They hugged each other
tenderly. It was 9 p.m. when Mary brought her chess set from her room. She played well but her father won the
game. Then she went to her room and listened to some music and surfed the Net. It was almost 11:00 p.m. when
her mother came with a glass of milk in her hand and told her that it was late. She drank the milk and brushed her
teeth. She went into her bed and started reading the novel that she bought. It was so absorbing that she could not
leave it. She read and read until she fell asleep.
