Sample presentation:

On my perfect weekend, I want to do the things that I typically don’t do. I almost always stay in and do housework or I sometimes need to finish some work projects. But on my perfect weekend I do none of that! I don’t stay at home. And, of course, I don’t do any housework! Instead, I go outside to the city centre and spend time with my friends. We all like going shopping, so this is the first thing we do. After that, we go to a restaurant and have an amazing meal. I think I want to eat some seafood with vegetables or rice. Next, we have a good time at the cinema. I hardly ever go to the cinema because there’s always so little time to relax! Finally, we go to a health club to learn to dance salsa. This is one of my dreams and I hope one day I will do that.
