     Hello, everyone. Now I’ll say something about my last weekend.

     I had a great time last weekend. My friend Jack came to visit me for three days. He’s never been to Beijing before, so I showed him around the city. He got here on Thursday morning. I never go out on Thursday nights because I have to be at work early on Fridays. So the first night we just stayed at home and relaxed. On Friday, we went to a club. I hardly ever go to clubs. I don’t really like dancing, but Jack loves it. He is a good dancer. We danced there for three hours. Saturday, we took a tour of the city. I showed him some of my favorite places. In the afternoon, we went to a gym to play basketball. We both like basketball and play it well. We got there at two o’clock and left at four o’clock. We had a good time there. On Sunday, we met some other friends and went out for lunch at this Chinese place I often go to. And then Jack left in the afternoon. It was good seeing him.

     Thank you for listening.
