Text and translation

On Saturdays, I get up a little later. My friend usually calls me after breakfast. We visit the market near the river. He buys fresh bread, and I buy fruit. We have lunch at a small café. I spend the afternoon with my family.

أستيقظ متأخرًا قليلًا أيام السبت. يتصل بي صديقي عادةً بعد الفطور. نزور السوق القريب من النهر. يشتري خبزًا طازجًا، وأشتري فاكهة. نتناول الغداء في مقهى صغير. أقضي فترة بعد الظهر مع أسرتي.
