What is your favourite day of the week?

That was the question in one of my classes. My student had to write a text and he had to give reasons why that particular day his favourite day is. This is what he wrote:

My favorite day of the week is Friday, because it is the last weekday. I usually get up very early during the week and I go to work by car, but on Friday, I stay in bed longer. After I get up, I do exercise and after that I start the day. I go with my wife to my aunt for lunch at 12 o’clock. After lunch, we have a rest and we talk. I usually have sandwich for dinner and watch TV in the evening.

This made me think. I also like Fridays but Friday is not my favourite day. The thing is, I finish earlier but not early enough: at 6 o’clock I say goodbye to my last student and start our weekend. I would say, my favourite day is Saturday nowadays because I know that I still have one more day from the weekend and we have plenty of time to start the new week.

So I would say, Saturday is a fantastic day to enjoy the weekend and prepare for the new week. It’s wonderful that we have an extra day to relax, recharge, and make the most of our time. You might ask what some specific activities or hobbies are there that we like to do on Saturdays to make it my favorite day. Well, if we just want to have a rest, we watch our favourite shows but sometimes we go out: in summer, we visit some popular places around our town but in winter, we go out to enjoy the snow. However, we come back to our warm flat soon because it is just too cold outside.
