What I did last Sunday
Last Sunday I woke up at eight o'clock but I didn't want to get up, so I took my phone and spent next hour checking my social media accounts and scrolling through the news feeds. Then I got up because I was hungry. I washed my face and went to the kitchen to have breakfast. Mum had already cooked it by the time I got up. I had pancakes with strawberry jam and a big mug of tea.
After breakfast I brushed my teeth and went to my room — I had to finish doing my homework that I had started the day before. It took me about two hours to do it. Then I phoned my friend and we decided to go to the cinema after lunch. Before lunch I played a new game on my phone. After having lunch with my family I went to the cinema. My friend was waiting for me with the tickets that he had just bought. The film was great and we discussed it all the way home.
In the evening I packed my schoolbag, had supper and did the washing up. Then I watched a film on TV, had a shower and went to bed at ten.
