In the last few weeks I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than work at home, read the newspapers, and watch television. I had begun feeling bored with this and so, last weekend I thought I would do something different. I phoned several of my friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn't been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was the cheapest means of transport. In London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour, we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park. In the afternoon some of us went shopping and the others went to the theatre. We met up again at 6.30 pm and went to a small restaurant in Sotho. The meal was really good, but unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.">

Trong vài tuần gần đây, tôi đã dành mọi thứ thứ bảy trong căn hộ của mình và không làm gì thêm thú vị hơn là công việc ở nhà, đọc báo và xem truyền hình. Tôi đã bắt đầu cảm thấy buồn chán với điều này và do đó, cuối tuần qua tôi nghĩ tôi sẽ làm một cái gì đó khác. Tôi gọi điện cho một số bạn bè của tôi và chúng tôi quyết định đi London vào ngày hôm đó. Tôi đã thực sự vui mừng vì tôi đã không đến London kể từ khi tôi mười tuổi. Chúng tôi quyết định đi bằng xe khách vì đây là phương tiện vận chuyển rẻ nhất. Tại Luân Đôn, chúng tôi quyết định đi tham quan vì chúng tôi muốn xem một số tòa nhà nổi tiếng. Sau tour du lịch, chúng tôi mua một ít bánh mì và ăn trong một công viên nhỏ. Buổi chiều một số chúng tôi đi mua sắm và những người khác đã đi đến nhà hát. Chúng tôi gặp lại vào lúc 6 giờ 30 chiều và đi đến một nhà hàng nhỏ ở Sotho. Bữa ăn thực sự ngon, nhưng tiếc là phải mất nhiều thời gian hơn dự kiến. Chúng tôi phải đưa xe taxi trở lại nhà ga xe lửa. May mắn thay, chúng tôi đã đến đó chỉ hai phút trước khi huấn luyện viên của chúng tôi rời đi.
