First of all, I wake up naturally. After finishing my breakfast, I go to the gym to do some exercise. In the afternoon, I can learn some things which I am interested in or read while listening to music. If I have enough time or money, maybe I will take a short trip. For example, I will go to Hangzhou to climb a mountain or ride a bike. I think this is my ideal weekend and this is also my ideal life.

If I want to learn somethings which I am interested in, I think I need to improve my job ability and earn money, and if I don’t have both, I will not have my ideal life. First of all, I think I need to learn something I am not interested in to improve my ability.
