Three things make my week special. First, I play basketball with friends on Tuesday. I am not very good, but the games are fun. Second, I help my grandmother in her garden. She knows about plants, and I carry the heavy bags. Finally, I draw pictures on Sunday mornings. I usually draw animals, but this week I am drawing our street. I do these activities without my phone. My friends can call me later. I like giving each activity my full attention.
