Weekend is a happy time for almost everyone.
We have a two day holiday every week. We don’t have any lessons on Saturdays and Sundays. So every weekend I can enjoy doing outdoor activities instead of staying at home or watching TV.
On weekends, I like taking a trip. I sometimes go to the countryside with my classmates by bus to breathe the fresh air, watch the green hills and the blue sky, and walk in the beauty (美景) of the countryside. Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw many pictures and take photos. Sometimes I go to visit places of interest with my parents by car.
If the weather is fine and I don’t have too much homework, I will take a long trip with my parents. We don’t go home at night and make a fire on the hill. We sit around it, singing and dancing happily. If we feel tired, we get together, look at the stars and chat for a long time, and then sleep for a few hours.
My weekends are always full of interest and happiness.

【推荐1】Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.
When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home by myself, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me stories so I didn’t get bored. When I got older, I helped my mum and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles(蜡烛)and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because Mum could leave me at home by myself. I spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go the market alone. I decided to take some candles with me and tried to sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax(蜡)to make more candles. They sold out very quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us. I paid them one pound(英镑)for every candle, and we sold them for three or four pounds. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from designer furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.
