Let me tell you something about me. I was born in a small village. It's in the north China. There are four people in my family. My parents are (farmer). I have (get) a brother. He is six years older than me. A few years ago, our house was small and there (be) few things in the room. My brother and I were very difficult. My parents were strict us. But now we live in big house with three bedrooms. I am a middle school student and spend much time my study. My brother (study) in a university in a big city. He can only go home during holidays. we often communicate (交流) with each other by (send) emails.

Everyone has a hobby, so do I. My hobby is keeping a diary in English. When I was nine years old, I began to have my hobby. At first it was difficult for me, but now it is easy. I know it's possible to learn English well with more practice. So I keep a diary in English. I think it is one of the best ways to learn English well.

After school I often go to the school library to read English books. Sometimes my English teacher asks me to do something interesting. So I get information for my diary by doing these.

After I finish my diary every day, I always try to correct mistakes (纠正错误) with the help of the dictionary. Now my English is very good.

I love my hobby. It helps me a lot to learn English well.
