Hello, everyone! I’m Kathy. I live in Washington, D.C. I’m in Grade 8. I spend about half an hour on my homework every day. My homework this week is to find out how much homework students have now. Please tell me about your homework on the website.

　　As the afternoon was hot, I did my homework in the morning. I used to get up at 6:30 and take a walk in the garden for half an hour. After breakfast, I began reading English and Chinese and did some exercises in maths. Those took me three hours or more. I worked quite well and made good progress.

　　I spent the afternoon outside. I went to swim and it was funny. I would not go home until it was about five or six o'clock. Sometimes a friend of mine would come to see me and we would spend some hours listening to music.

　　In this way I spent my vacation happily. And I not only studied well but also became a good swimmer. Now I am in good health and high spirits（精神）.
