Sarah: Hi, Tom! How are you today?

Tom: Hello, Sarah! I am very good, thank you. And you?

Sarah: I am fine. What do you do on the weekend, Tom? Do you go to big parties?

Tom: No, I don't. I like slow weekends. I stay at home.

Sarah: Really? What do you do at home all day?

Tom: I wake up late. I make a big breakfast. I eat eggs, toast, and drink coffee. I eat slowly with my cat.

Sarah: That sounds nice. Do you watch movies on TV?

Tom: Sometimes. But I prefer to read books. I sit in the garden and read for two hours.

Sarah: I want a slow weekend too. My weekends are very busy. I go to the supermarket, I clean the house, and I visit many friends. I am always tired on Monday.

Tom: You need to relax, Sarah. This Saturday, turn off your phone. Read a book. Listen to soft music.

Sarah: That is a great idea. I will try it. Thank you, Tom!

Tom: You are welcome. Enjoy your slow weekend!
