My favourite day is Saturday. I like it because I usually don't do my homework on this day. I do it on Sunday. I like to think that I have one more day to do different important things. However I help my mother about the house in the morning. In the afternoon I usually go for a walk with my friends on Saturday. Or we sometimes go to the cinema. If the weather is bad, I prefer to stay at home. I listen to my favourite music or watch films on TV. Sometimes I just don't do anything - I just lie in bed and dream. Saturday is also nice because you always know that there is one more day-off after it.
