    My name is Peter. I'm from New York and I am in Qingdao with my parents and my sister Lily now. My sister is eleven and I am twelve. We are in the same school. We go to school from Monday to Friday. Our parents are busy working and they don't have time to drive us to school. So we often go to school by bus. Sometimes we also ride a bike to school. We have four classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. My favorite subject is math. Science is my sister's favorite.

    I like sports. I like playing soccer and basketball very much. But I don't have much time to play them on weekdays. I help my sister with her math on Mondays, go shopping with my mother on Wednesdays, and practice Chinese on Friday afternoons. My Chinese friends help me with my Chinese. But on Saturdays and Sundays I can play sports, watch TV and surf the Internet.
