Speaking exercise

I stay at my bed in the Saturday morning until noon because i’m tired. Every morning i got up early very early so i need a rest. About 11 o’clock then I have the lunch with my family. After the lunch I kept sleeping until 2PM. I was looking my daughter doing her homework, playing piano, drawing picture, dancing, reading books. I thought she was serious / very hard working.
