If you are like me, your parents may also make you take part in after-class activities. And you always listen to them. But we are older now. We should start to do what we like. My parents used to make me go to activities like basketball, swimming, choir (唱诗班), Chinese and violin lessons. But I didn’t like some of these things.
This year, I stopped going to some activities. I stopped playing basketball and swimming because I don’t like them anymore. I stopped going to Chinese lessons. I can learn Chinese at home. I only take part in school band, after-school Spanish and violin lessons. My mother says I don’t do enough sports. “I walk home 2 miles (3.2km) every day. It’s a sport.” I tell her. Walking is a sport. Don’t you think so?
