Simple Past
Last weekend
What did you do last weekend?
I had a great weekend last weekend. On Friday I went to a bar with my friends. I ate a delicious hamburger and french fries. I entered a pool tournament and I played really well. I won the tournament and won 15 euro. I was very happy. I met new people from Germany and they showed me a popular drink in Germany that is similar to a Bloody Mary.
On Saturday I was a bit tired. I stayed in bed until 11 o’clock in the morning and then I had a nice brunch. I ate toast with tomatoes and mushrooms and I drank coffee. I went out and walked around the town where I live with my girlfriend. We went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables. My bags were heavy and we walked home up the hill. My girlfriend made Lasagna for dinner and then we watched a movie.

What are you going to do ?
When I finish university I want to do lots of things! I am going to travel abroad to spend some time in France. I want to improve my French and I think I will improve if I spend a few months living in a small town in the South of France. I am going to practice guitar every day because I won’t have to study every day. It is going to be so great! I am going to go to the beach every morning and swim in the sea. I am going to spend a lot of money there but I think I will be okay.

I am going to rent a big apartment and have big parties with all my friends. We are going to have so much fun. I am going to miss my family when I go to France so I am going to invite my parents to my new apartment for dinner every weekend. It is going to be so cool!.
