 My name is Ma Yan. I am 13 years old and I live in Shanghai. My English name is Sarah. I think that school is very interesting. I can learn about many important things. I have nine classes every day. My favourite subjects are English, Maths and Chinese. I like Chinese because I like reading Chinese stories. I think that Maths is very useful and I enjoy learning a new language. I do not like Art because it is too difficult for me. On Thursday afternoons, I go to the English club. Many students love going to the English club. There, we can talk to each other in English. My English teacher is called Scott. He is from Britain. At the English club, he often tells us about his life in Britain. Last week he showed us some beautiful photos of Britain. I think that it would be great to go there one day. During lunchtime, I go to the basketball club. I think that playing basketball is fun and it can make me healthier. There are fewer girls than boys at the basketball club. Sometimes, I find it difficult because most of the boys are taller than girls.
