Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Nil. Aujourd'hui, c'est le weekend ! Samedi et dimanche, je ne travaille pas. Je reste à la maison avec Lina.
Mais du lundi au vendredi, je travaille. Je travaille de 8 heures à 17 heures. J'ai une heure de pause de 12 heures à 13 heures pour le déjeuner.
Le matin, je prends un café. L'après-midi, je travaille beaucoup. Le soir, je rentre à la maison et je dîne avec Lina.
Le weekend, c'est différent ! Samedi, Lina et moi, nous allons au marché. Dimanche, nous restons à la maison. J'aime beaucoup le weekend !
