Speaking exercise

Original:

Today I woke up at half past six in the morning. Next I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Then I ate breakfast. I went to school. In school we have Chinese, English, Math, Science, Drawing, and PE class today. My favorite class is English class, because in school when we have English test I usually is 100, sometimes I am 99, or 98, or 97. And I think English is easy for me, because I always study English on every Saturday morning. My least favorite is Drawing, because I draw very ugly and I don’t like drawing class.
