Last weekend was a good weekend for me. I finished my work at 5:00p.m on Friday. At 6:30p.m I arrived at home.  I ate dinner with my grandparents and my parents, we had a nice dinner together.  On Saturday night I had hot pot (I went to hot pot) with my friend, which is a beautiful girl. It was a spicy hot pot, I drank a lot of juice because the hot pot was so spicy. We went to a Pub when we finished our dinner. It was funny and the DJ was a handsome boy, his music was amazing.  Sunday was my father’s birthday. I bought a cake for him, he was surprised.  That’s my last nice weekend.

The pub = sounds like there’s only one pub in the entire world.

A pub = we went to one of many pubs in the world.
