I love to go biking! Two years ago I bought an exercise bike (健身脚踏车). But soon I got bored with being at home, so I bought a used bike and started going for short rides. Now I plan day trips in my neighbourhood (街区). When you drive a car, you miss many things. It’s surprising how much more you can see when you’re biking.

My favourite thing to do at weekends is to go to the beach. The beach is beautiful all through the year. I usually drive there. If the weather is cold, I wear some warm clothes and go for long walks on the beach. When the weather is hot, I enjoy swimming or just lying in the sun.

—Barbara

At weekends I like to read books. If the weather is nice, I’ll take a good book to the park and stay there reading for hours. I think there’s nothing as enjoyable as reading a good book.

—Bill

Weekends are for going hiking (徒步旅行) with my parents. We live near some beautiful mountains. Sometimes we camp out at night. We really enjoy cooking dinner over a campfire and spending a night under the stars!

—Sara

The grandfather said, "Take this little basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water." The boy did so, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to walk faster next time."

This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
