好吧，现在就让我给你讲讲我的周末吧。
在周末我会做很多事情，非常繁忙，因此我会在周六早上做我的作业，下午呢我会帮着我的妈妈做些家务事，因为我是个乖女孩，所以我在家里可是个得力的帮手。在星期天的早上，我会和父母一起去看望我的爷爷奶奶，下午我们会一起上公园，因为每逢这个时候都会有放风筝表演，我的.爷爷奶奶喜欢制作风筝。我认为在那里可以看到许多漂亮的风筝，我们也会买下一些漂亮的，然后我们会放那些新买来的风筝，很好玩的。晚上呢我们会一起吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，晚餐上我们会吃鱼，因为我的爷爷奶奶喜欢吃鱼，我的奶奶做鱼可是很拿手的哦。晚饭后我们就一起看电视，我们一起很快乐。
这就是我快乐的周末，我非常喜欢我的周末，你的周末怎么样呢？能否告诉我？
