She likes chicken but dislikes noodles. She gets along very well with my family. My sister teases her. I really enjoy having her around.

At school we have more rules than Australia. When we answer teacher questions we have to stand up and answer is in a very loud voice so that the teacher can hear and all the students can hear it because we have forty-five students in our class. We have to be quiet when it is class time. Our classroom must very quiet. We can't eat or drink in the classroom. We have to keep it clean. We can't walk around the class when it is class time.

We have ten periods per day and forty minutes per period. School is from 7.30am to 4.45pm. I live at my school. I usually get up at 6.10 in the morning and we only have 35 minutes for lunch and go to bed at 9.30pm. I go home on the weekends.

I have a big family. I have three brothers and one sister. My old brother is sixteen years old. He studies in high school. He likes to play computer games very much,so do I.

The other brother likes maths. His maths is so good. So, my mother usually asks me to study him.

My little brother likes football. He likes playing and watching football, but I don't like it.

My little sister likes playing and eating. She can play anything. Anywhere she also can play. My sister likes eating. So do I. We like eating a lot of food,like meat, milk, beef, chicken. My sister doesn't like eating vegetables, but I like them.

There are three people in my family. I have two chicks at home. I have some flowers at home. I study in China Beijing Foreign Language School. I am in Grade One.

There are some differences between China and here. We walk and drive on the right, but we walk and drive on the left here.

There are lots of people in China, but there are so little people here. There are many many bikes in China, but there are many many cars here. In Beijing, the streets are like a board, but there are so many corners here. If I walk here, I'll lose my way.

We often drink running water here, but in China, we put water in the pot and then boil.

The school where we study here is very big. The school is very beautiful. It is a high school, when we are twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, we study in a high school. In China, when we are twelve, thirteen, fourteen, we go to a mid-school.The teacher and the classmates here are very friendly to us. I like this school.

I found that the study day was very complicated. There were 6 periods, or units, and there were ten minutes break between each class. There were two classes then recess, two classes then lunch and then two classes at the end of the day.

In home room after school we had to help our class mates clean the classroom. Sometimes we even had to clean other rooms. For example I had to clean science rooms occasionally.

The students study extremely hard and more often than not they stay up till two or three in the morning studying. My host sister spent sometime in her Japanese class sleeping, and most students slept in assemblies.

Overall I had a fabulous time and I would love to go back there for a holiday sometime to visit my friends.
