PRACTICE TIME
WHAT I DID YESTERDAY
I got up late yesterday morning because it was Sunday. First, I had a shower and
then I went to the kitchen downstairs for some breakfast. I had a bowl of muesli and
some apple juice. Then I took a shower.
After breakfast it was time to check my email and Facebook accounts. I have a lot of
friends from all over the world. I spent about two hours online before taking the dog
out for a walk.
In the afternoon I went to the cinema with a friend. We saw Toy Story 3. I thought it
was fantastic. I didn’t do much in the evening apart from watching TV. I should do
some more exercise before I become a couch potato.
