My Busy Weekend
My mother had something important to do last Sunday and wouldn’t get back home until 5 p.m., so I decided to do chores and give her a surprise.
In the morning, I quickly finished my homework and began to do the dishes. After that, I went to the supermarket and bought some meat and vegetables. In the afternoon, first I fed the dog. Then I swept the floor and cleaned the windows.
I was tired but happy. When my mother came back and saw the clean house, she felt very happy, too. I think it is fun to do housework.
