2a) Read the texts about Mark and Lola.

"I don't like getting up early at the weekends so I usually stay in bed late - sometimes until about 10.30am! I absolutely love having a big breakfast on Saturdays. I can't stand going to the gym or doing exercise but I sometimes go for a walk in the afternoon. I quite like meeting friends in the park or just lying on the grass and doing nothing. I'm not very keen on going out on Saturday evening. I stay in and chat on the phone and get a take-away pizza."
- Mark, London, England


"I really hate doing nothing so I get up early on Saturdays and start the day by checking my emails. I really like meeting friends and having breakfast in a cafe, so I catch the bus into town at about 9.00am. After breakfast, my friends and I sometimes go to an art gallery. I'm quite keen on most kinds of art so I don't mind which gallery we go to but my friends really hate modern art. I do different things on Saturday evenings. I sometimes have dinner with friends or I stay in and watch TV."
- Lola, Madrid, Spain
