| My partner Julia likes to do a lot of activities like reading, watching TV, and sleeping. Usually she gets up at seven. She takes the bus to school. Julia takes four classes. She starts at eight. The first class is grammar. Julia likes to eat sweet food like chocolate, cake, and candy, but she prefers healthy food. In the afternoon she likes to do some exercises to keep herself in good shape.--Kamel |
| I'd like to introduce my new friend, Tony Chan. He likes to watch TV and read newspapers in his spare time. He usually watches the Chinese news on Channel 7 after dinner. He told me he always gets up at seven. It's so early for me. Then his wife makes him breakfast. He usually goes to school by bus; sometimes he takes #7, sometimes he takes #21. He only takes one class, because he said it is too hard for him. He's older and it is too tiring for him. He likes Chinese food a lot, but I don't like it at all, because Chinese food has too much oil. It will make me gain weight.--Kay |

| In the classroom, I had a communication with my partner. She is a part time student. Every day she gets up at 6:00 in the morning and after she eats breakfast, she starts to walk to school. She said it takes 45 minutes from her home to school. Every day she takes three classes at school. She likes Chinese food. When she has spare time, she likes to travel.--Helen |
| My partner is Hui Luan. She came here about 13 years ago. She lives near the school so she likes to walk to school. She is taking two classes at John Adams Campus, which are the same as mine.

I hope her father will get better soon.--Rebecca |

| My partner is Ricky. He is 18 years old. He comes from Kwangjou, China. He has been in S.F. for six months. He likes to play on-line games so he enjoys on-line games in his spare time. He has many Chinese friends. He gets e-mail from his friends, so he goes to bed late and gets up late too. He gets e-mail or talks on-line with people in another place and time zone. How amazing! He likes Japanese food, probably sushi and sashimi or domburi--me too. But sometimes I want to have mother's food. Usually he takes four classes, so he studies in the afternoon.--Jay |

| When I was speaking with Kamel, I learned many interesting things about his spare time. He likes going outside, walking around the city, and he likes the ocean. He also likes going shopping. (I was surprised because I thought that many men don't like to do it, or just do it very fast.) He has three classes a day, so he doesn't have to wake up very early. He gets up between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning. He told me he has a job in the supermarket and comes home at 2 a.m. every day. In my opinion it is very good and easy to learn English if you study at school and also if you have a job or American friends. He likes any kind of food. Kamel enjoys Mexican, Italian, and American food.--Julia |

She usually gets up at 6:30 in the morning and goes to bed not later than 11 p.m. Roza takes the bus to school. It's very convenient for her because the bus stop is near her house.

This afternoon, she wants to do some routine things like cooking, cleaning, and so on.--Irina |
