On Saturday people usually go to the shopping centres or supermarkets to buy food, clothes and other things they need. Other people prefer to do chores around the house.

In the evening people often have dinner at the restaurants; go to the cinemas, plays or concerts. As for the young people, you can meet them having fun and dancing at nightclubs or cafes. They also like to go to the sports bars to watch such sporting events like football or hockey.

A lot of people visit their parents and grandparents or spend this day with their children. Sunday is a perfect day for the family. Many families have a great dinner with their relatives. They cook delicious meals and try to turn this ordinary day to the little holiday. But there are some people who usually stay at home and prepare for the working week ahead on Sunday.
When the weather is nice people like to go to the country for all weekend. Many families go to the parks or Zoo with their children. It’s so wonderful to spend the day in the open air on a picnic with delicious food with warm company. Some people like to spend their free time on a hobby.

The weekend can be very busy!

Многие из них готовятся к выходным в пригороде. Люди также приглашают гостей на ужин, устраивают вечеринки или ходят в кино и театр.
По субботам люди обычно ездят в торговые центры или супермаркеты, чтобы купить еду, одежду и другие необходимые вещи. Другие люди предпочитают работу по дому. Они могут провести весь день за уборкой или стиркой, потому что не имеют для этого достаточно времени в течение недели.

Мои выходные
Вариан1 (Как я провел выходные)
The last weekend was pretty ordinary. I could sleep as long as I wanted in the morning. There was no hurry.
On Saturday, I went for a walk to the park with my friend. On Sunday, I went to the shopping center with my parents. I had time to watch cartoons and play my favorite games on my tablet.
I did my homework and cleaned my room.
Although there were no special events, I had a good time.
Последние выходные были довольно обычными. Утром я мог спать сколько хотел. Не было никакой спешки.
В субботу я гулял в парке со своим другом. В воскресенье я ходил с родителями в торговый центр. У меня было время посмотреть мультфильмы и поиграть в мои любимые игры на планшете.
Я сделал домашнее задание и убрался в своей комнате.
Хотя никаких особенных событий не было, но я хорошо отдохнул.

I love weekends. I can do what I like best on weekends. And I can spend more time with my friends and family.

How do you spend your weekend?
Have you ever have a job interview in a company and prepared to talk about your weekend.
Some HRM as a part of hiring strategy typically starts off by asking candidates about their weekend, it’s a genuine question. They are not looking to evaluate your answers, but rather start to hear and understand who you are as a person.
Thanks for invitation,
I mostly spend it with family but lately I started to go out clubbing each weekend, And also like Mr.Omar I am looking for a vacancy but outside of Egypt so I am closing any lose ends in Egypt preparing to move on.
Mostly I used to spend it with my family, but not now as per the war in Yemen.
Now I spend it on the Internet or other activities as also we don’t have electricity now in Sana’a just a solar system for a short time.
We hope the situation getting better
Weekend is the time to forget all stress related job that we have been doing since last weekend and concentrate on things which bring happiness to us like family and friends and entertainment or spending time browsing internet. And to organize and to get ready to face next week.
How was your weekend?
Consider me challenged!! I’ve always wanted to do a gravity-defying cakes in my weekend, so it is FUN for me! And easy too!
Most importantly, I just finished up another post on my bayt.
Each one of us is full of problems and responsibilities, which cause psychological stress and depression, which negatively affects our lives and our achievements and even our health, which leads us to seek and try to get a happy ending to entertain ourselves and alleviate the pressures of work week holiday.
Is the weekend of the deadlines, which can take from which the largest sleep, so most of the people lost on vacation to sleep all day, instead of sleep early, to take advantage of their vacation days to wake up early, and do special activities.
It takes work a great deal of our time, in a way that moves us away from our families and sit amid our friends, or go out with them, where increasing gap between us as a result, which leads us to seize the weekly day of our vacation to fill this gap.
The holiday of the times through which we can discover new things, new places, and even new foods and different, and in the event of lack of time to book a trip or going to the beach, you can make up for it out of ran out of the house, or do discovery and experience foods new, such as cooking, for example. We can also draw up a blueprint to go with family or friends on a shopping trip, instead of burying ourselves in our offices throughout the week, and the commitment of the killer that we do daily routine
I spend my weekend to energize myself for the next week
a) by spending my time with the family(relaxing),
b)by socializing with friends and relatives(networking) and
c) Finishing all personal businesses so that I could concentrate fully in office work in the next week (ethics- no personal business in office)
