A Day in the Life of Xia Hui
My day starts at seven o'clock with organized physical activity outside in the schoolyard led by one of the teachers.
When I was in junior high school things used to be easier.
but now I am in high school, and I have to work very hard.
I have to be in class every day at eight o'clock for roll call.
I have to wear a uniform at all times.
I have many classes during the day.
I have to study subjects in my own language ,including mathematics and science.
but I also have English classes once a day.
All students have to play at least one musical instrument in my school, and I chose the violin.
I am expected to play in the orchestra on all special occasions or presentations in the school.
I have to do at least three hours of homework each night on top of violin practice.
On weekends I have to do homework and prepare for the following week's classes.
I have very little free time, but when I do, I like to play volleyball with some of my friends from school.
