Example

On Saturday, I went downtown with Anthony in the morning. We walked around, and I took a lot of pictures. We went to a coffee shop, and I bought a "Polar Freeze" (milk, ice, strawberry, and raspberry) for Anthony, but he didn't like it! My husband came downtown at lunchtime, and he took Anthony to Taco Stand for lunch. I went to the hospital to visit my cousin, who is very sick. My cousin is 67 years old, and he has throat cancer. He can't talk anymore, so he has to write messages. I spent some time with him at the hospital and then I went to my Arabic class at the mosque. I take this class every Saturday. There were only two other students that day, so the class was very small. After class I went home and made dinner for my family. After Anthony went to bed, I went out with a friend of mine to see a music and dance performance. Saturday was mostly a good day. Sunday, however, was a bad day because my mother was really sick. She was a little bit sick on Saturday and very sick on Sunday, so I spent Sunday trying to do things for her. I took her and Anthony both to the walk-in clinic on Sunday afternoon, and they both got diagnosed with bronchitis. Mom is much more sick than Anthony, but she got some antibiotics, and she's feeling a little better today.
