Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English channel where learning English is easy and fun.
I'm Emily.
It is so good to be here today.
I am very happy to see you, Emily.
I am happy to see you too, Paul.
You look very relaxed today.
Ah, thank you.
That is because I had a very good weekend.
Oh, really?
That's great.
I want to hear all about it.
Yes.
We are going to talk about our weekends today.
It is a perfect topic because everyone has a weekend.
Exactly.
It's a great way to practice simple English.
So, Emily, how was your weekend?
Was it busy or quiet?
It was a little bit of both, I think.
Saturday was busy, but Sunday was very quiet.
That sounds like a perfect balance.
What did you do on Saturday?
Well, I went to the shopping mall in the morning.
I needed some new shoes for work.
Oh, shopping.
Did you find some nice shoes?
Yes, I did.
I found some very comfortable black shoes.
I love them.
Good job.
Shopping can be very tiring sometimes.
Oh, yes.
The mall was very crowded.
There were so many people.
I can imagine.
Saturday mornings are always busy at the mall.
They are.
After the mall, I went to a small cafe for lunch.
I had a delicious sandwich.
Yum.
What kind of sandwich was it?
It was a tomato and cheese sandwich.
Simple but very good.
That sounds lovely.
I love a good sandwich for lunch.
And what about you, Paul?
What did you do on Saturday morning?
Well, I didn't go to the mall.
I went to the park.
The park?
That's nice.
Was the weather good?
Yes, it was beautiful.
The sun was shining and it was not too cold.
Ah, that's great.
Did you go for a walk?
Actually, I went for a run.
I'm trying to exercise more.
Wow, a run?
Good for you, Paul.
How far did you run?
I ran for 30 minutes.
I was very tired after.
30 minutes is excellent.
I can only run for 5 minutes.
You can do it, Emily.
You just need to practice.
Maybe.
So, after your run, what did you do?
Well, I went home and took a long shower.
Then I had a big breakfast.
A big breakfast is the best reward after exercise.
Yes, exactly.
I had eggs, toast, and a lot of coffee.
Mmm, coffee.
You know I love coffee.
I know.
I thought of you when I was drinking it.
That's so sweet.
Did you do anything else on Saturday?
Yes.
In the afternoon, I played some video games.
Oh.
Which game did you play?
I played a racing game.
It is very fast and fun.
Wow.
Are you a good driver in the game?
Sometimes.
But Saturday was funny.
I had a small mistake.
Oh?
What happened?
Well, I was winning the race.
I was very excited.
I was almost at the finish line.
And then?
My cat, Jasper, jumped on my lap.
I couldn't see the screen.
Oh, no.
Jasper wanted to play too.
Yes.
He hit the controller with his paw and my car crashed.
I lost the race.
That is so funny.
Poor Paul.
Jasper is the boss of the house.
He really is.
I was surprised, but I couldn't be angry.
He is too cute.
Ah, cats are like that.
They always know when you are busy.
Exactly.
So that was my Saturday afternoon.
What about your Saturday evening, Emily?
In the evening, I stayed at home.
I was a bit tired from the mall.
Did you watch a movie or a series?
I started a new series on TV.
It is a mystery story.
Ooh, I love mysteries.
Is it good?
It is very interesting.
I watched three episodes.
Three episodes?
Wow, you really liked it.
I did.
It was hard to stop watching.
I know that feeling.
It's like, just one more episode.
Yes, exactly.
And then it's midnight.
Yes, that happened to me too.
Well, we are in the middle of our conversation.
This is so fun.
It really is.
If you are enjoying this conversation, don't forget to like the video, subscribe to the channel and share it with a friend who is learning English.
Yes, please.
It helps us a lot.
We love making these for you.
We really do.
Now, let's talk about Sunday.
My Sunday was very traditional.
Sunday is usually a family day for many people.
Was it like that for you?
Yes, it was.
In the morning, I went to church with my parents.
That's nice.
Is the church near your house?
Yes, it is very close.
We walk there every Sunday.
It's good to have a routine like that.
It is.
After church, we all went to my grandmother's house for lunch.
Oh, I love grandmother's food.
They are the best cooks.
Yes, they are.
We had a big family lunch.
My cousins were there too.
That sounds like a lot of people.
Was it loud?
Yes, very loud.
Everyone was talking and laughing at the same time.
That sounds wonderful.
What did you eat?
We had roast chicken with potatoes and vegetables.
Mmm, my favorite.
Did your grandmother make a dessert too?
Yes, she made a big chocolate cake.
It was amazing.
Wow, I am very jealous now.
I love chocolate cake.
I wish I could share some with you, Paul.
Me too.
Did you stay there all afternoon?
Yes, we did.
We went to a park near her house after lunch.
A park?
Like me on Saturday?
Yes, but we didn't run.
We just walked slowly.
That is much better after a big lunch.
It was.
We saw some children playing and some dogs running around.
It's so relaxing to be outside on a Sunday.
It really is.
It makes me feel very calm.
I agree.
Sunday is the day to recharge your batteries for the new week.
Yes, exactly.
So what did you do on Sunday, Paul?
My Sunday was very quiet.
I stayed at home most of the day.
Sometimes, staying at home is the best thing to do.
Yes, i spent the morning reading a book.
Oh, what kind of book.
It is a book about history.
It's very interesting but a bit slow.
I like history too, but i prefer stories about people.
This book has many stories about people from the past.
I like it.
That's good.
Did you have a big lunch, too?
No, not like yours.
I just made some pasta at home.
Pasta is always a good idea.
It's easy and fast.
Yes.
And in the afternoon, I did some planning for the week.
Planning?
You are very organized, Paul.
I try to be.
I look at my calendar and write down my tasks for Monday to Friday.
That's a very good habit.
It helps you stay focused.
It does.
It makes me feel less stressed on Monday morning.
I should do that too.
I usually just wake up on Monday and think, oh no, what do I have to do?
Yes, well, maybe you can try it this Sunday.
Yes, I will.
It sounds very helpful.
It is.
And after my planning, I just rested on the sofa.
Did you sleep?
I had a small nap.
Just 20 minutes.
A power nap.
That's great.
Yes.
I felt very fresh after that.
Then I watched a football match on TV in the evening.
Oh, did your team win?
Yes, they won 2-0.
I was very happy.
Wow, good job to your team.
That's a great way to end the weekend.
It really was.
A win makes the whole weekend feel better.
I know what you mean.
Oh, Paul, I just remembered something funny from my lunch.
Tell me.
I love funny stories.
Well, my cousin, Leo, brought his new girlfriend to lunch.
Oh, that is exciting.
Was she nice?
She was very nice, but something happened with the cake.
The chocolate cake?
Oh, no.
Yes, my grandmother gave her a big piece of cake.
And?
She was talking and laughing, and then she sneezed.
Oh no, while she was eating?
Yes, a little piece of cake flew across the table.
Oh, no way.
Where did it go?
It landed right on my uncle's head.
On his head?
That is amazing.
Yes.
Everyone stopped talking.
It was very quiet for one second.
And then?
Was your uncle angry?
No, he just touched his head, looked at his hand, and said, hmm, free cake, and he ate it.
That is so funny.
Your uncle has a great sense of humor.
He does.
We all laughed so hard.
The poor girl was very red in the face.
She was embarrassed, but I'm glad everyone laughed.
Yes, it was a very funny moment.
It made the lunch very special.
Free cake.
That is my new favorite phrase.
It was a great moment.
Well, Emily, it sounds like we both had very nice weekends.
We did.
It's important to enjoy our free time.
Definitely.

So Emily, are you ready for the new week?
I think so.
I have my new shoes, i had a great lunch and i am ready to work.
That's the spirit, and i have my plan.
So i am ready, too good, but wait, let's remember what we talked about today.
Oh yes, let's see.
We talked about my run in the park on saturday Yes, and my shopping trip to buy black shoes.
And the sandwich you had for lunch.
Yes, and your cat, Jasper, who made you crash your video game in the video.
Poor Jasper.
He just wanted to help.
Sure, Paul.
And we talked about my big family lunch at my grandmother's house.
With the flying cake.
Yes, the cake on my uncle's head.
That was the best part.
And we talked about my quiet Sunday with a book and a nap and the football match.
Yes, two zero.
It was a very good weekend.
Indeed it was.
We did many different things.
That is the beauty of the weekend.
You can do what makes you happy exactly now paul, do you have a bonus tip for our friends?
Oh yes, i do Great.
What is it?
My bonus tip is this.
When you have a conversation in English, don't worry about being perfect.
That is a very good tip.
Yes, just talk like we do.
Use simple words.
If you make a mistake, it's okay.
Exactly.
The important thing is to communicate and have fun.
Yes.
Perfect.
That is a great tip, Paul.
Thank you.
I hope it helps everyone feel more confident.
I am sure it will.
