PREPARE: My Weekend

I had a really strange weekend. On Friday I went to a cool party, a lot of

my friends were there. It was great fun. Saturday was a perfect sunny
day and I visited the surfers’ beach with my brother. I tried surfing for the
first time. I loved it and I was quite proud of myself! But on Sunday it
rained and I woke up with a horrible cold and I felt very tired, I think I
caught the flu! So I stayed in bed all day...
