My name is Monifo. Amy is my friend. She is Chinese. She lives here with her family. We are in the same grade. But we are in different classes. She is really friendly and plays with me at break.

    And she is my best friend.

    Our favorite subject is art. Amy and I have the same favorite color. It's green. And I like red, too. At Amy's house, we do our homework first. Then we do lots of drawing. Amy's grandma calls her Mei Jing—that's her Chinese name. I think it's cool to have two names.

    One day I went with Amy to her grandma's house. It's full of Amy's aunts and cousins. I thought it was someone's birthday, but Amy said her whole family often ate dinner together. I learn to use chopsticks. Chinese use them to eat meals. How interesting to eat with Amy's family.
