英文原版对话1000个:1192 Katia's Weekend

 　　Alex: Hey Katia. What about you? Tell me about your weekends. What do you usually do on the weekends?

 

　　Katia: Well, every weekend I think it's different but usually in the mornings I wake up and I'm actually very relaxed because I know I don't have a schedule so usually I have coffee, breakfast and then I plan my weekend. So sometimes I do things only by myself but sometimes I go with friends. I like going to restaurants, I like being in nature, I like biking, so there are many things but I think every weekend is different. It depends on how I'm feeling that day.

 

　　Alex: Nice. You were saying you plan your weekends, like you can plan them in advance or something that just as it goes, kind of like do things. How does it work?

 

　　Katia: Well usually in the mornings I check what I feel like doing and then that's what I plan. So for example, if I wake up and I feel like going, it's a nice day, I like to go to a park and then to the beach, then that's my plan so that's how I plan it. It's right on the moment. So it's somewhat¹ of a plan.

 

　　Alex: You look like you enjoy going shopping a lot. Do you go shopping sometimes on the weekends?

 

　　Katia: Not at all. I don't like shopping at all. I wish I would enjoy it but I just, all the time it's the same. You see the same things, the same people, so it's the same all the time so it's not so exciting for me. I really don't enjoy it. Only I go if I have to.

 

　　Alex: Do you have your friends over or do you usually go visit friends or family during the weekends?

 

　　Katia: Sometimes I have my friends over. Usually have a small dinner, nice conversations and yeah just a quiet evening with my friends. And yes, and Sundays are family days so I reserve² Sundays for my family.

 

　　Alex: Do you travel or do you go places around your city?

 

　　Katia: If I have the opportunity definitely³. I think it's always nice to go out from your everyday routine⁴. So if I can, of course I love to travel.

 

　　Alex: That's interesting.
