Hello everyone this is Mohammad Bokhari, following on the weekend's home work. I wonder if any one wants to go with me for one of the suggested activities on Saturday or Sunday and I prefer movies but open for any suggestion. I believe it will be more fun if I don't go solo and I want to speak English more :)
