My last weekend was one of the most enjoyable ones. My weekdays are usually monotonous and hard, so I always long for Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately my weekend is too short, that is why I do my best to make it really exciting.
Nothing extraordinary happened last Saturday because I was at school till 2 p.m. and then just went home to relax with my family. I helped my mum cook dinner, then all of us watched a nice movie. It was a comedy “Meet the parents”. The film didn’t have any visual effects or computer graphics, but it was sweet and funny. At 7 p.m. I had a long foam bath, it was such a pleasure which I can afford only at weekends. Then I spent a couple of hours reading an amazing book. So I fell asleep with the book in my hands.
Sunday was completely different. Of course, I got up later than usual. After breakfast I did some housework while I listened to my favourite music. Then my friend phoned me and invited me and my brother to «The Amusement Park». The weather was nice and I agreed. So we took a bus and went to the park. We had so much fun. We went on a ferris wheel and all kinds of rides: water rides, train rides, swing rides. We screamed loudly. I think all kids love the rides. Although my little brother didn’t quite like them, he got scared and even cried sometimes. After that we all went shopping as I needed to find a birthday present for my mother. And I found a beautiful scarf for her. I hope she will love it.
In the evening we were extremely tired but very happy. It was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun.
ndia assured itself of a medal at the Asian Games in this sport
Sepak takraw, or kick volleyball is one of the events at the 2018 Asian Games. The Indian men's team assured itself of a medal at the Asian Games by progressing to the semi-final with a win against Iran 21-16 19-21 21-17 on Monday.
As the name suggests, it is a sport native to Southeast Asia. With its acrobatic kicks, similar to the bicycle kick in football, it has all the elements of an entertaining spectator sport.
Why is it called sepak takraw?
The game takes it name from the countries where the sport is most popular. Sepak is the Malay word for kick, and takraw the Thai word for woven ball. The ball is spherical and made out of synthetic fibre.
