Sunday Funday Posted by on Aug 27, 2013 in Culture, English Grammar, English Language, English Vocabulary

As Sunday is the end of the weekend, most people think of it as the day before going back to work all week. However, it’s better to think of this last day of the week as “Sunday Funday.” That means you should have as much fun as you can before heading back to work from Monday to Friday. A lot of Americans like to go out to a sports & entertainment center with their family and/or friends on a Sunday to have a good time. Let’s see what it looks like in this short video!

Follow along with the script below. Useful vocabulary words are highlighted in bold.

“A fun way to spend your Sunday is at a sports and entertainment center. Children like to bounce on the trampoline. Many people enjoy racing go karts around the track. Just be careful out there! You can also practice your baseball swing in the batting cages.  My younger brother is much better than me. Test your upper-body strength and try the climbing wall. It’s not as easy as it looks. Keep trying hard and get all the way to the top! A more relaxing activity is a round of mini-golf. Just grab a putter and a ball and play 18 holes with your friends. Nice putt!

If it’s too hot outside, you can move inside and hit the bowling alley. Grab a ball, roll it down the lane, and try to knock all the pins over. Sometimes, you get all but one pin. Other times, you only get one. For a snack, try some mozzarella sticks and chicken wings. Before you go, stop by the arcade. Here, you can play a variety of games, such as ski ball or basketball. Try your luck in these games of chance. Count up your tickets and trade them in for a prize. Now that’s a Sunday Funday!”
