It’s Sunday afternoon. The last hours of the weekend before school starts again. This time is valuable, but I’m sitting here with nothing to do and no money to spend! So I need ideas for things to do. Important: they need to be fun and free; I’m asking for help because time is running out! 现在是周日下午——周末的最后一段时光，接下来又要开学了。本来这段时间很宝贵，可我现在坐在这里无事可做，还没钱花！所以我需要一些可以做的事情的点子。重要的是：它们必须既有趣又免费。我来求助是因为时间快来不及了！
Go for a walk. I always go for a walk on Sunday. I like going on my own. It’s the perfect time to think about all the things I don’t normally have time to think about and I never think about things I need to do. I like forgetting all about them just for a few hours every week. 去散步吧。我每个星期天都会去散步，我喜欢一个人去。这段时间特别适合思考那些平时没时间去想的事情，而且我从来不会去想那些“我必须完成的任务”。能把它们全都抛在脑后，哪怕只是在每周的这几个小时里，我都觉得特别放松。
I’m writing my weekly poetry blog post. Well, I was – now I’m writing to you. I upload a post every Sunday. At the moment, I’m finishing poem number 15. Five more to go! Maybe you don’t want to write a poem or even a blog, so try a story. Go on – use your imagination! 我正在写我每周更新的诗歌博客。嗯，刚刚还在写——现在在回复你。我每个星期天都会上传一篇帖子。目前我正在完成第15首诗，还剩五首！也许你不想写诗，甚至不想写博客，那就试试写个故事吧。加油——发挥你的想象力！
I’m lucky. I live in Liverpool and we have the best museums and they’re all free. The city is way too big for just one visit, so I choose a new gallery every month I go and check out a different room. Sometimes that is the insect room – I want to see what unusual bugs they have! 我很幸运，我住在利物浦。我们这儿有最棒的博物馆，而且全部都是免费的。这座城市大到一次根本逛不完，所以我每个月都会选一个新的展馆，每次去看看不同的展厅。有时候我会去昆虫展厅——我想知道那里有没有什么特别稀奇古怪的昆虫。
Read something. Sunday is my reading day. I read for at least four hours on a Sunday – books, magazines, websites, newspapers – anything. I read at home, but if you can’t scroll on a phone at home or your parents don’t want the wifi on all – you can do it anywhere. And sometimes, when I’m lucky, Dad brings me hot chocolate, too. 读点东西吧。星期天是我的阅读日，我每周至少会读四个小时——书、杂志、网站、报纸，凡是能看的都行。我通常在家里读书，不过如果你不能在家刷手机，或者你父母不让一直开 Wi-Fi，那你随便去哪都能读。偶尔我很幸运的时候，爸爸还会给我端来一杯热巧克力。
