What I Did Last
Sunday
Last
Sunday was a very busy day for me. At 8am, I took my dog for a 10km walk along
the Richmond Dyke. After we got home, I did some laundry. Then I played guitar.
After that, I made some pizzas for everyone. Unfortunately, I dropped one of
the pizzas on the floor. Therefore, the dog had some pizza. Then, we all sat down and watched the football
game. When the game was over, I helped my kids with their homework. Then I
watched a boring movie. After that, I read some of my book. I went to bed
early. It was a good relaxing day.
Topic sentence: Last Sunday was a very busy day
for me.
Supporting sentences: step-by-step story
Concluding sentence: It was a good relaxing day.
