我的中文课
我现在在北京大学学汉语。我星期一，星期二，星期三，星期四和星期五都有中文课。
今天是星期五，我上午八点十五分上课，中午十二点下课。上课的时候，老师说我昨天没有来上课，今天要好好学习。老师还说，"学中文，要多说，多写"。下午半天，我和同学们说话，写字。我们说了一个小时的汉语，写了三十分钟的汉字。
明天是星期六。我星期六和星期天都不上学。不上课的时候，我会去同学家玩。我很喜欢在这儿读书，我也很喜欢我的老师和同学。
My Chinese classes
Right now, I am studying Chinese at Beijing University. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I have Chinese classes.
Today is Friday. In the morning, classes start at 8:15 and finish at noon. During class, the teacher said that I had not come to class yesterday and that today I had to study hard. The teacher also said: "To learn Chinese, you must speak a lot and write a lot." In the afternoon, I chatted with my classmates and wrote characters. We spoke Chinese for one hour and wrote characters for thirty minutes.
Tomorrow is Saturday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I do not go to school. When I don't have class, I go to my classmates' homes to have fun. I really like studying here, and I also really like my teachers and my classmates.
