HOW I SPENT MY LAST SUNDAY

Category : Essays

Last Sunday, I got up early in the morning. It was about 5 0' clock. Some of my friends came to my home. We all went to the river side for a long walk. It was a very pleasant time. Nature was at her best. A cool breeze was blowing. Birds were singing soft, sweet notes. Dew drops on the grass looked like pearls. Everything was green and fresh. We enjoyed swimming in the river and came back at about eight. I then had my breakfast. After this, I did my home task and prepared my  lesson. It took me about three hours. It was almost noon. I had my usual meal. After this, I enjoyed a nap for some time. I got up at about 1 p.m. The sky was overcast with clouds and the weather was very pleasant. For some time, I played cards with my younger brothers and sisters.
At about three, I went to the cinema to see the movie. It was an interesting movie and I enjoyed it very much. I came
back at 6 p.m. I narrated the story to my mother and younger brothers.
Late in the evening, I went out for a walk with my friends and came back at about 9 p.m. I felt rather tired. I had my supper and then went to bed. I enjoyed a very sound sleep. The next day I got up quite fresh and gay. That was how I spent my last Sunday.

stars. Life in a city is no doubt comfortable, but the happiness is not found in cities. People in a city are always in a hurry .They  i  do not find joy in living.

greedy and cunning. They may dress well and have very good manners. But they are selfish creatures. A city dweller lives a life of fever and fret.
Life in a city is a mixture of opposites. On the one hand there are very tall buildings. On the other hand are dirty slums. Wealth and poverty live side by side in cities. People die of starvation and overeating in cities. Beautiful buildings exist side by side with smoky factories.
Cities have some attraction which villages do not have. For this reason many people in the villages leaves for cities. All the amenities of modem life are available in cities.

There are good hospitals and libraries in a city. But these facilities are lacking in villages. Cities are also centers of political activities.
We can say that life in a big city is a mixture of joys and sorrows. All the comforts of life are available in a city. But a city is full of evil things as well. There are brothels and gambling dens which have influence on the lives of young men.
