I sleep in till 10am on the weekends.

I cook the same breakfast in China, that I cook in America. Which is my favorite breakfast, bacon and scrambled eggs.

What sports do you like in America?

Good question. Americans love sports, teachers also love students who play sports. Sometimes they think the sports are more important than exams. We usually like to play Football( Gan Lan qiu), Basketball, Baseball(Wang qiu). But we also like Tennis, and golf. Americans also like Extreme(Very much, or a little crazy) sports, which don’t really play a game or use a score, you just do this sport for fun, and usually its not about winning or losing.
