THE CHANGING WEEKEND
Reading

a) What did people do on weekends from 1900 to 1925?

b) What do they do now?
c) What did you do during your childhood?
d) What do you do now?

In the past
Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then new inventions
changed the weekend.
• People used electric streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars
to amusement parks. Young people liked roller coasters and the Ferris wheel.
• The first movies lasted only one minute. Soon, however, movies got longer. By 1920s,
movie theaters sold millions of tickets each week! In 1927, movies finally had sound.
Sometimes, people stayed home instead, and listened to another new invention- the
radio.
• People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on
weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.

Now
With more time, money, and inventions, people have many more choices.
• They can visit huge □theme parks□ like Disney World and ride modern roller coasters
that go higher and faster than ever before.
• They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie
theaters) or watch a video at home.
• Many people jog, bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV
and watch sports.

No April rain bring
No flowers bloom But what it is, though old, so new
No wedding Saturday within the month of June To fill your heart like no three words could ever
But what it is, is something true do
Made up of these three words that I must say I just called to say I love you
to you I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart I just called to say how much I care, I do
No summer's high I just called to say I love you
No warm July And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No harvest moon to light one tender August Of my heart
