أَمْس فِي الصَّبَّاح خَالِد اِسْتَيْقَظَ بَاكِراً, ثُمَّ أَخَذَ دوشاً وَلَبِسَ مَلاَبِسَهُ.
بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَضَّرَ الْفَطُور وَثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الَى الْعَمَل. 
بَعْدَ الْعَمَل رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْر.
فِي الْمَساء خَالِد أَكَلَ الْغَذَاء مَعَ صَدِيقَة فِي مَطْعَم, 
ثُمَّ ٍسَاقَ بِسَيَّارَتِهِ اِلَى الْجِيم, وَبَعْدَ الْجِيم رَجَعَ الَى بَيْتِهِ.
فِي اللَّيْل شَاهَدَ التِّلِفِزْيُون قَلِيلاً مَعَ عَائِلَتِهِ. 
ثُمَّ  أَكَلَ الْعَشَاء فِي الْبَيْت وَأَخِيراً نَامَ مُتَأُخِّراً.

فِي نِهَايَة الْأُسْبُوع الْمَاضِي اِسْتَيْقَظْتُ مُتَأَخِراً وَأَخَذتُ دُوشاً.
ثُمَّ فَطَرتُ قَهْوَة بِالْحَلِيب وَخُبْز بِالزُّبْدة وَالْعَسَل.
عِنْدَ الظُّهْر خَرَجْتُ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ وَذَهَبْتُ مَشِياً / بِالدَّراجَة / بالسَّيَّارَة /
 بالقِطَار / بالدَّرَّاجَة النَّارِيَّة اِلى الحَديقَة.
ثُمَّ فِي الْمَساَء اِلْتَقَيْتُ بِصَدِيق وَشَرِبْنَا شَاياً.
فِي اللَّيْل أَوَّلاً أَخَذتُ دُوشاً, ثاَنِياً شَاهَدْتُ التِّلِفِزْيُون, ثَالِثاً أَكَلْتُ الْعَشَاء وَأَخِيراً نِمْتُ مُتَأَخِّراً.
