Today is the last day of my holiday. The extra one day of holiday is because our company want to celebrate this year’s performance. I woke up at 10am. Then I washed many clothes because I had a lot of clothes not washed. Then I have to prepare a presentation for the next group meeting so I need to search the information I need. I spent a lot of time to read the document. During I prepare the presentation I cooked the lunch. I only did one thing today. I think today is not a relaxing day because I think to prepare a presentation cost much energy.
