a sample version:
hi, chris,
 thanks for asking me about my school life. i usually get up at 6 o’clock. after having my breakfast, i leave home at 7 o’clock. i usually go to school by bike. the journey takes about 10 minutes.
 we learn many subjects, for example, chinese, mathematics, english, physics, chemistry, geography, history and so on. my favorite subjects are english and history. english is very important and history is the most interesting. but i don’t like to learn physics. i think it is too difficult for me to master it and it is boring.
 the first lesson starts at 7:30, which is the time for individual study, reading chinese or english loudly. after that, we have another four lessons in the morning. at 10 o’clock, we begin to do some morning exercises. school is over at 12 o’clock.
 i usually have lunch at 12:30. after that, i usually have a nap. after school, i always do my homework first. after dinner, i often prepare for the next day’s lessons. sometimes, i surf the internet, reading the passages online. sometimes i watch some tv programs, like sports news. i don’t go to bed until 11:00 pm.
