Read about Tom's weekend:

Last Saturday was a great day! I woke up early and had breakfast with my family. We ate toast and drank orange juice. Then my dad drove us to the beach. We arrived at 11 o'clock. I swam in the sea and my sister built a big sandcastle. We had a pícnic for lunch — sándwiches, fruit and lemonade. In the afternoon, I found some beautiful shells on the beach. I put them in my bag. We went home at 5 o'clock. I was very tired but very happy. On Sunday, I stayed at home. I did my homework in the morning and then I played video games. In the evening, I read a book before bed. It was a wonderful weekend!
