Dear pen friend,

　　It’s Monday today. I’m really busy a1l day. School starts at 9∶00 am, and the first class is biology. I don’t like biology. It’s too difficult for me. Next，at 10∶00 am, I have math, and then，at 11∶00 am，I have art. Art is my favorite subject. I like my art teacher. He’s fun.

　　After lunch, I have history at 1∶00 pm. I don’t like it because I think it’s boring. Then, I have Chinese at 2∶00 pm. It’s a little bit difficult, but it’s interesting. My last class is P. E. at3∶00 pm. Our teacher Mr. Green is very strict and I’m usually very tired after P. E. class. Then after school, I go to Chinese music club. There I listen to some light Chinese music, and sometimes sing Chinese children songs. It’s very relaxing!

　　Please write to me about your favorite day.

　　Love,

　　Jane
