My name is Jim and I live in Canada. My mother is from Korea and my father is from France, so we speak three languages(语言) at home. I think languages are very interesting and I want to learn Portuguese and Chinese. But my favorite subject isn’t language. It’s math. I really like history, too.

I like sports, especially(尤其) soccer and basketball, because they’re relaxing. But I don’t have much time to play. I go to the music club after school on Mondays. I have guitar lessons on Wednesdays, and I go to the library(图书馆) on Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays are great, because I can play sports, play computer games and watch TV.
