1. The legal working hours of American workers are 40 hours a week, usually five working days (eight hours a day). So their normal weekends are Saturday and Sunday, which is the so-called "weekend".

America: People like to act alone on weekends. If we expand the scope, it's just a couple action. The biggest team is a family outing. A new leisure fashion is popular in the United States, called "weekend farmer", which is to plant flowers and vegetables in the yard on weekends and learn family gardening techniques. The whole family worked together to make this family unique.
In different regions, due to different religious beliefs, the start time of a week is not exactly the same. The Egyptian week begins with Obsidian Day (Saturday), while Judaism and Japan begin with Obsidian Day (Sunday), and Monday is regarded as the second day of the week. Some people in America think so, too. Islam puts Jin Yaori (Friday) first.
In Europe, most countries regard Monday as the first day of the week; In China, the first day of the week was also named after "Seven Obsidian", but it was gradually replaced by Sunday, Monday and Saturday in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was customary to think that Monday was the starting time.
