Dear Jennifer,

　　It's Tuesday, November 11. I'm really busy today! At 8 o'clock I have math. I don't like math. Then at 9:00 I have science. It's difficult, but it's interesting. Next, at 10:00, I have history. It's boring, but at 11:00 I have P. E. That's my favorite subject! I eat lunch at 12:00. After lunch, I have music. Music is relaxing. I like my music teacher, Mr. Morgan. He's fun. All my classes finish at 2:00. After class I have gymnastics (体操) for two hours. Our teacher is very strict and he makes me very tired. But after gymnastics I have Chinese history club. It's really interesting!

Love,

Lin Mei
