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!

I don't have any plan in this weekend because I can't go anywhere cause of covid-19. After finishing the covid pandemic, I have many plans to travel with my friends.

For this weekend I have some plans around my house. On Saturday need to clean my garden, to water the flowers and to make tidy the yard because on Sunday we are expecting some guests. We arranged a meeting with my relatives at my house because I haven’t seen them for six months since the corona started to spread. We are going to have a barbeque party with a lot of food and drinks. My father will be in charge of the grill and my mother will prepare her delicious desserts. I think it will be quality time with my family. I'm planning to organize some outdoor activities and other games, so children won't get bored.

This weekend, I'm going to my friend's house that far from my house bout 60 km. I will drive to get there. We haven't seen each other for 6 months since coronavirus appeared. So I am so excited about this meet. We will make a barbecue in the garden, chat, and drink. It will be fun!

I am either at home or going to a part-time job. I have no plans with my friends. If it doesn't affect the coronavirus, I would like to have a plan to play. Summer vacation is near, so I want to go on a trip or play far away. My part-time job is a karaoke clerk, and I work more than five hours a day.Business hours have been shortened due to the coronavirus, but I don't usually work late, so it didn't affect me. And when I'm at home, I usually do assignments. Since it became an online class, I'm really having a hard time with more assignments. There are so many assignments that I haven't been able to study for qualifications. I have a lot of work to do even on weekends, but I sometimes meet friends to avoid stress. The way I spend my weekends and summer vacation are completely different from last year. Unlike elementary and high school students, there are some university students who have become depressed because they cannot give face-to-face classes because of the bad connection. I will be careful not to build up stress.
