Hello! My name is Mike. I'm 16. Today I'd like to introduce my school day. I'm a student in No. 19 Middle School. Every day I must get up at 6∶30. I have my breakfast at 7∶00. I always have an egg and a glass of milk. I leave for school at 7∶20. I have an English class at 9∶00. My favourite subject is chemistry. But my best friend Jack likes history and science. I'm at school from 7∶50 a.m. to 4∶30 p.m. At 4∶15 in the afternoon I must clean the classroom. I go home at 4∶30. I have supper at 6∶00 in the evening. I watch the CCTV news at 7∶00. I go to bed at 9∶00. It's a busy day. Here is Betty -- my sister's introduction about her school day.

A．8 hours.

B．8 hours and 20 minutes.

C．8 hours and 40 minutes.

Alice is my pen friend. She is a 16-year-old girl from the UK, but now she lives in China. She is a middle school student in Nanjing. She likes going to school, but there are some things she doesn’t like, such as PE. She enjoys playing sports. She thinks sports are interesting and exciting. But she doesn’t like doing physical exercises in PE classes. She feels that they are boring! Her favourite subject is Science. It seems that the amazing and useful Science attracts her. She thinks she is on the way to be a scientist. She wishes to invent things to make the world more and more beautiful.

In her free time, she often goes to the beach. She loves just sitting around and talking to friends there. She’s getting better at understanding boys, but she hates listening to hours of talk about football. “It’s not interesting at all!” she once said to me.

That is my penfriend Alice.

Dear Xu Dong

Thank you for your e-mail. Let's make friends. Let me tell you about my school life. My favourite subject is Computer Studies. I like playing computer games after school. I do not like History. I think it is boring. I spend three hours doing homework every day. I have many friends at school. I am a big brother in our school's Helping Hands club. I help new students learn more about their new school life. Write me back!

Daniel
