My name is Anna. On Saturday, I spend the day with my family. In the morning, my father makes pancakes, and my mother cuts fruit for breakfast. After we eat, my brother and I help clean the kitchen. Then we visit my grandmother. She lives near our house, and she always smiles when we arrive.

In the afternoon, we go to the park together. My brother rides his bike, and I play badminton with my father. My mother sits on a bench and reads a book. In the evening, we go home, eat soup and bread, and watch a funny film. Weekends with my family are my favorite time.
