Your Busy Week
Are you one of those people who feels completely exhausted by the end of the school week? I definitely am. According to experts, teenagers nowadays are busier than ever, and I find my school week very tiring. (На думку експертів, підлітки сьогодні зайняті як ніколи, і я вважаю свій шкільний тиждень дуже виснажливим.)
For me, the worst day is Wednesday. It’s the middle of the week, and the weekend still feels so far away. On Wednesdays, I have a lot of difficult lessons, like maths and physics, which makes the day feel very long. To relax after school, I usually listen to my favourite music or play computer games with my friends online. It really helps me to clear my head.
I would say that having a busy schedule is normal for students. However, I think it is very important to find some time to relax and do something you enjoy. It gives you the energy to get through the rest of the week.
