Hi Rachel!

Happy Friday! How are you? Thanks for your email.

I am fine. I am just taking a break from doing my homework at the moment. I want to finish it before the weekend because I have a lot of chores to do, and I want to make sure I have some free time for myself.

Do you do many chores at home? Every day, I make my bed, set the table and load the dishwasher but at weekends, I have more chores to do. On Saturdays, I tidy my bedroom, vacuum the carpets and wash the clothes. Then on Sundays, I do the ironing. I don’t really mind because my mum and dad work a lot. They give me a lot of pocket money, too.

Tomorrow, it’s my best friend, Karen’s birthday. So, I want to finish my chores early, so I can go shopping and buy her a present. She is having a barbecue in the garden at her house. Karen lives in the same town as me and we go to the same school, so I will know everyone there. I am really looking forward to it. On Sunday, we are going to the cinema to watch the latest Marvel film. I enjoy going to the cinema.

What about you? What are your weekend plans?

Talk soon,

Amanda
