The Key word: Weekend
2.b At my weekend I usually do my homework in the morning . So , I can be free for the rest of the day . Also I usually read different novels. I like reading very much. In the afternoon I go for a walk with my friends. We usually have a good time together. Sometimes we visit our local museums or cinemas. In the evening my parents usually go to the theatre. I don't go to the theatre with them because I think it is boring.

Hello, Mary!

Thank you for your last letter. I was very glad to get it. I hope you are  fine now.
