I’m happy to get your e­mail. Do you want to know about my after­class activities? The classes finish at four o’clock. After class, I usually go to the library and read books. It’s relaxing. Sometimes I play football with my classmates in the playground. I’m not good at it, but I like it. We have dinner at six. In the evening, we study in the classroom from seven o’clock to eight thirty. We usually do our homework. Science is difficult for me, but my friend Peter helps me with it. He is very nice. I take a shower at about nine o’clock and then go to bed at nine thirty. I often talk with my roommates before going to bed. Remember to pick me up (接我) at 5 o’clock on Friday afternoon.

Yours,

Jenny

My uncle Ivan is a doctor in a big hospital (医院). He goes to work from Monday to Friday. He gets up at six forty in the morning. After twenty minutes, he has a quick (快的) breakfast. Because he starts (开始) work at seven forty, and he needs about half an hour to get to the hospital. But he’s never late for work.

In the hospital, he works hard (努力地). After four hours’ work, Ivan has lunch in the hospital. In the afternoon, he starts work at two o’clock. He finishes work at seven. And then he goes home. He makes dinner at home for his family. He’s good at making chicken salad, and it tastes really great! After dinner, he usually takes a walk with my aunt and my cousin. They sometimes play ball games. He says it’s good exercise. After that he takes a shower and then goes to bed.

My uncle says he’s busy but he really likes his life.
