What day do you like? I like Friday. I have five classes in the morning and all my classes are great. My first class is Chinese. It’s interesting and fun. The second class is English. It is easy for me and I like it very much. My English teacher, Mrs. Wang, always says English is very important. That’s for sure! Then I have two math classes. I think math is really difficult. But my math teacher, Mrs. Li, is a very nice woman. She always helps me. P.E. is the last class. I can play ping-pong with my classmates, so it’s my favorite class. We always have a good time in P.E. We have lunch after class. I eat chicken and carrots for lunch. I don’t have hamburgers or ice-cream. I want to be healthy.
