I went
home and took a shower. Then I went to see a couple of my friends at a bar
downtown.
We had a couple of beers and a nice talk.
Tom told us about his new job, and Jim told us about his new girlfriend. After a
while, we went to a restaurant and had pizza. I went to bed late that night, but I
was very happy.
On Saturday morning I went running in the park. I ran 5 kilometers, and then
came home.
After that, I met my girlfriend for lunch. We went to a Thai restaurant near my
house. I love Thai food!
I spent the evening with my girlfriend, watching TV on the sofa.
The next day, I got up and caught the train to my parents’ town. I usually go to
see my parents on Sundays, at least twice a month.
My mom usually makes a roast, and we go for a walk in the park or in the
country after lunch.
This weekend was a bit different, though. My parents took me out for a nice
lunch, because it was my birthday. After lunch, we took a walk (as usual) and
then I caught the train back to London.
Now it’s Monday and I’m back at work, but I’ve got big plans for next weekend!

Seguimos, con un texto que utiliza muchas expresiones con el verbo get.
Yesterday I got up at 8:30 in the morning. After I made some coffee, I got
dressed and went to the bank because I had to pay the rent. The bank is only a
couple blocks away, so I got there in a few minutes. There wasn’t a long line
when I got in, so I paid the rent and left.
Afterwards I went to the butcher’s to get some meat. I also stopped at the
market to get some tomatoes. I wanted to make pasta. When I got home I
wrote a couple of emails.
After a while I started getting hungry, so I decided to get to work on lunch. I
put the tomatoes in a pot to cook with the meat, and I put some water on to boil.
After a while the water got hot and I put in the pasta. I cooked it for a few
minutes and then sat down to eat.
After lunch, I drank some more coffee and then got ready for work. It takes me
about 20 minutes to get to work from where I live.
I was at work for a few hours, on Fridays I only give 2 classes.
I got off work at 8:30 and went to my girlfriend’s house. We went to drink a beer
in her neighborhood. I was getting very hungry, so when I got home I made
some fried eggs. After that I did some reading and went to sleep.
The end.
