9. Is there anything new you’d like to try on weekends?
   I would like to learn a new language on weekends. As part of my plan to go to Canada, French would be a good option for me. My relatives live in Montréal, and it is a Francophone area, so learning French would be beneficial.

    No, I don’t enjoy working on weekends. I prefer to spend time with my family and friends.
11. Do you believe employees should be required to work on weekends?

12. Do you think weekends are more important to you now than when you were a child?
    Yes, weekends are more important to me now than when I was a child. In my childhood, all days felt like weekends, so I did not give weekends much importance. However, today I look forward to weekends.
