Hello, my friends. My name is Li Hong. I'm from Fuzhou. I'm in No. 1 Middle School. I'm in Class 7, Grade 7. My mother works in No. 2 Middle School, she teaches Chinese. My father is a basketball player.
On Sundays, my mother and I often do some shopping. My mother likes shopping a lot. We will go shopping this Sunday afternoon. My mother says she will buy me a red dress. But I don't like red, I want a yellow one. My mother says yes to me. I'm happy.
My father doesn't like shopping at all. His favorite animal is the panda. He often takes me to the zoo. In the zoo, I can see monkeys, pandas, elephants, lions and tigers. The pandas are very cute. The monkeys are smart. The lions and tigers are strong. The elephants have long nose. They are very kind. Next Sunday morning my father will go to the zoo with me.
I love my parents very much. They love me, too. I have a happy family.

My school far from my home. The yellow school bus gets to my home every morning. When I get on the school bus, I say "Good morning" to Sally, and Sally says "Good morning" to me, too. Then she drives me and other students to school. On the way to school, I like to have a talk with my friends.

I take the special bus called "Smart Bus" to school. It's so useful. Parents are notified (被通知) ten minutes before the bus gets to their home, when their children get on the bus and when their children get to school. Parents don't need to worry about their children too much .

I get to school by myself. A train station isn't far from my home. I take the train to school. The train ride takes me half an hour. Lots of students are on the train, too. On it, I like to play chess with my best friend Eric. Eric is really good at chess. He often helps me with my chess.

Many middle school students don't know how to spend their free(空闲) time. When they have holidays, they always have nothing to do. Some may play computer games all day long and some may stay in bed and sleep all day. They are not good ways. Here are some suggestions(建议).
If you don't like to stay at home, you can do some sports. In this way, you can keep healthy. If you like to stay at home, you can enjoy some music. You can play some indoor(室内) games like chess. You can also plant some trees and flowers in your garden to make your home beautiful. It is also a good way to keep a pet and talk to it. Just have some hobbies(爱好) and you will feel happy during a long holiday.
