Yesterday morning I ate a breakfast. And after that I decided to go to the cinema to see a premier of the famous film and offered my friend to join me. But he suggested to go to the swimming pool instead, because we swam in the pool only last month. I packed my clothes and the clean towel and my backback became heavy. We met at the bus station. He was riding a motorbike. He told me the lattest news and mentioned one scientist. That scientist was very intelligent and really amazing. He finished a huge project. He invented some high-technological device. My friend found that information in the internet.
