In the last few weeks I have spent every Saturday in my flat and have done nothing more exciting than work at home, read the newspapers, and watch T.V. I had begun feeling bored with this so, last weekend I though I would do something different. I phoned several of my friends and we decided to go to London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn’t been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach as this was the cheapest means of transport. In London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous buildings. After the tour, we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small park at 12 o’clock. In the afternoon some of us went shopping and the others went to the theatre. We met up again at 6.30 pm and went to a small restaurant in Sotho. The meal was really good, but unfortunately, it took much longer than we had expected. We had to get taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes before our coach left.

When I was a student, I had a summer job in an expensive restaurant in Glasgow. One day we were expecting forty members of football team for lunch. I was given the job of peeling potatoes. 
I thought I was managing quite well with my small knife until the owner appeared to see how I was getting on. She was amazed that I was using a knife and asked why I wasn’t using the potato peeler. I had no ideal what a potato peeler was so she led me into a mall room behind the main kitchen. There, on the table, was a small machine like the rubbish bins some people have in their bathrooms. She explained as if to a mall child that I had to put the potatoes in, close the lid and press the button. When she came back ten minutes later, I told her I thought it was quicker to do it by hand. She asked what I meant. “Well, they aren’t ready yet,” I replied. You can imagine how I felt when she lifted the lid and took out the potatoes the size of peas. The potato peeler was not automatic.

	My favourite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at least twice a week ever since. You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim- only a pair of swimming trunks if you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl. When you start you may like to use a ring or some water- wings.
	How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even taught their six- month- old babies to swim. It is just a good idea to play around in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the water. Try to find a good teacher. You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothly and easily. As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress.
What is the writer’s favourite sport?
How often has the writer been to the swimming pool?
Did some parents teach their children to swim when they were very young?
What must we learn when we swim?
