My Favourite Day

Everyone has a favourite day. Maybe it's Saturday because you can play all day, or Wednesday because you enjoy a special lesson at school.

Write about your favourite day of the week in 60 - 80 words. To make it easier, first draw a timeline of your day (morning → afternoon → evening → night). Then use the questions below to help you organise your writing into clear paragraphs:

P1: Which is your favourite day of the week? (e.g. My favourite day of the week is Friday because I feel excited for the weekend.)
P2: What time do you usually get up? What do you do first? Do you make your bed? Who makes your breakfast? What do you usually eat? What do you do after breakfast?
P3: What time do you usually have lunch? What's your favourite lunch? Do you eat with your family? What do you do in the afternoon? Do you play with your friends/pets, go to the park, walk your dog, or go shopping?
P4: What do you do in the evening? Do you watch TV, read books/comics, listen to music, or play games? What time do you usually have dinner? Who prepares it? Do you help? What do you usually eat? What time do you go to bed? What do you do before you go to bed?
P5: Why is this day special?
- If it's a schoolday, how many lessons have you got then? Can you name them? Which subjects do you enjoy most? Do you like morning or afternoon shifts better? Why? What do you do during break time? What after-school activities do you join?

You can use the following game as the example.

My favourite day is Saturday. 

I wake up at nine o’clock and have breakfast at ten or eleven. Then I play video games until twelve. 

I have lunch and go outside to ride my rollerblades and play with my cats. Sometimes I go to the store. At six o’clock I play video games again. 

I go to sleep at midnight. 

I like Saturday because I can wake up and go to bed whenever I want.

My favourite day is Saturday because I can sleep longer and relax or play with my friends all day. 

I wake up at nine o’clock in the morning and watch birds at the window. After that, I take a shower, brush my teeth, and get dressed. Around ten o’clock, I have breakfast with my parents and brother. I usually eat cereal or sandwiches. 

At twelve, I hang out with my best friend or visit my aunt. When I come back home, I have lunch—rice and chicken, my favourite meal. After lunch, I do my homework or chat online with my friends from Belgrade. 

In the evening, I spend time with my parents or read a book. At ten or eleven, I go to sleep. 

Saturday is my favourite day because I can relax and don’t have to worry about school.
