Hey, are you free on Saturday? Do you want to do something?
I'm busy on Saturday, but how about Sunday?
Sure! Sunday works for me
What are you thinking?
How about a drive out to the beach? I've got the car this weekend because Mike is away.
Sounds good! What time?
I can pick you up from your place about 9 if you like
I'm going to the gym first thing in the morning
Shall we meet a bit later, say 10?
Perfect! Do you fancy a picnic? I can go shopping while you're at the gym
Great! Even better! See you tomorrow!

Hello tonhu1982,
That sounds like a great plan for the weekend. I hope you enjoy your class and your time with your friends, as well as your time alone.
I'm afraid we don't correct our users' texts, though if there's a specific structure or sentence you'd like to ask us about, please feel free.
Have a great weekend!

Same as usual, We normally go to amusement parks on weekends, eat out for lunch and have a movie marathon in the evening. We're actually planning to go on a picnic this weekend, I'm so excited I'm pretty sure It's going to be fun. I just love spending time with my family.
There is nothing special up till now. Actually, I don't want to go anywhere, I would like to take a rest in my bed the whole weekend but it is not possible. Now I am unemployed and you may think, why don't you free. I really busy like searching a new job in abroad, so I am applying job on website or with mails the whole day , and learning English to support searching job and other skills the whole week days and doing shopping for my meals in weekend and doing chores so I have little free time, I don't want to waste that my little free time going around other places.
Firstly, ı am going to meet my friends and we are going to go theatre at Harbiye open air on Saturday. The theatre game's name is 12. gece , is written by Shakespeare.
This weekend will be long because we have a catholic Easter, and there will be no work from Friday till Monday. All the supermarkets will be closed on Friday and Monday. We're gonna make a tripe probably, work in our small garden and go a lot for a walk.
I don't make any plan in this weekend. If I like my weekend is everyday. But I don't waste my doing unusual things. I set a goals about to reading a book.
i will just stay at home but i am going to watch a great movie with my family.
