I'm glad it's Sunday again. I can stay in bed 1        I like,drinking tea and 2        those thick newspapers that are brought 3        the newsboy through the letterbox at 8: 30. In this way,I can catch up with all the 4        I haven't got time to read during my work time.

When I 5        the papers,I then prepare my bath. The Sunday morning bath is 6        of the week. There's no need to hurry because there's no bus to 7        and my friends are told not to call me up before noon on Sundays,so there is no danger of 8       by the telephone.

9       spend the afternoon after lunch is always a bit of problem. In summer I can go to the park and sit in a chair 10        boys playing football,while in winter I sit in front of the fire and 11        when reading a book,sometimes I turn on the television and sleep through an old film.

Then there's the 12        ahead of me. Perhaps I'll call on some friends or go to the cinema 13       a new film I want to see or to town for a concert. Oh,there are 14        pleasant ways of passing Sunday evenings. The only sad thing is that Monday morning is getting 15       .
