6 Read and choose the correct answer, a, b or c. (12)

I love weekends because it’s the time when I’m free and I can do what I want. You see, I work hard all week
but I never work at weekends – the weekends are mine! The first thing I need at the weekend is sleep so I
hardly ever get up early on Saturdays. But I never sleep all day – there’s a lot to do! I love listening to the
radio because that’s something I never have time for in the week. It doesn’t matter what I listen to – having
the radio on is just a nice feeling and it relaxes me. I talk on the phone three or four times at the weekend
because it’s when my friends are free. I always phone my grandmother on Sundays and we have a long
chat. Sometimes, in the evenings, I go out with friends – maybe to a museum or an exhibition. About once a
month, I go to the cinema but on a Sunday night I usually download a film and watch it at home. I think it’s a
great way to finish the weekend.
