2018.09.08 The diary of Saturday
I got up at 8 o’clock. I always get up very late at weekends. I put up my clothes which took me five minutes. Then I brushed my teeth and washed my face in the bathroom as usual which took me for minutes to do it. Then I pre-studied my Chinese class. My Chinese is talked about Chinese history which started at half past eight. This class was talking about the Pre-Qin Period and the poetry and prose among that age. I think it is an interesting class and I was interested in it. This class was two and a half hours, so I ate my breakfast very late. After I finished my breakfast and finished my homework in one hour. I did two English papers, two Maths papers and also one Chinese paper. I think it is a lots homework for me. After I finished all of them I felt very happy. I took a rest for half hour, and then I finished my lunch. There were many kinds of food, I liked all of them. When I finished my lunch, it was a quarter past one p.m. I read <Dairy of a wimpy kid>. It is interesting, I interested in. That is a Daring like mine. That wimpy kid wrote the interesting things in his middle school. Then I went to the badminton court to playing badminton by car. I played badminton with my father. We had for competitions. My father won three competitions. And I won one. The score was 16 to 21, 12 to 21, 18 to 21 and 22 to 20. I won the last one. I played badminton for two hours. Then I ate supper with my dad and my mom in a big restaurant. The food were delicious and I ate all of them. Finally I went home and brushed my teeth again. I also took a bath in the bathroom. Then I went to bed at 10 o’clock. It’s a late time.
