Yesterday, I woke up late because it was Sunday. First I had a shower, then I put on my sport clothes. Before I went out, I had a quick breakfast, a cup of coffee and a cake because I was not really hungry. When I was outside, I met up with my friends, and we went to the stadium to play football. After the match, we went to the café to chat and have some fun. We spent a great moment together. Sunday is really a wonderful day.
