2. A lovely weekend.
It is a fine Saturday morning. Bob and his family get up later than usual, because he isn’t going to school and his father isn’t going to work. They are all staying at home, but they are not idle. Each of them is doing a different thing.
Bob’s father is in the garage. He is washing his car. His mother is in the kitchen. She is busy preparing a good meal for the family. Sometimes Bob helps his mum with the cooking, and sometimes he goes to the garage and watches his father washing his car. His elder brother, Jack, usually stays in his study till lunchtime. His two sisters are listening to some beautiful music while they’re cleaning the house. His younger brother, Tom, is training his puppy. He is having a lot of fun.
Around 12:30, the whole family is seated around the table enjoying a wonderful meal.
