Answer 1

J'ai vécu dans un appartement de trois pièces dans une grande ville. Je vivais avec mes parents. Ma chambre était très petite mais confortable. J'avais une table en bois, un petit lit, un ordinateur et un grand placard. Ma mère faisait souvent le ménage dans ma chambre. Elle préparait de délicieux repas. Mon père travaillait beaucoup et il était souvent fatigué.

J'aimais beaucoup jouer aux jeux video. Je pourrais jouer toute la soirée. Mes parents me disaient d'aller jouer dehors. Parfois, je jouais au football et au badminton avec mes amis. Mais je n'aimais pas jouer à cache-cache. Je n'ai pas beaucoup mangé quand j'étais jeune. De plus, je n'aimais pas manger des légumes, mais j'aimais les chips.

J'allais à l'école chaque semaine du lundi au vendredi. Le week-end, j'avais des cours supplémentaires. J'ai eu des cours de natation et des cours de mathématiques. Après l'école, je sortais généralement avec des amis. Nous jetions des pierres dans le lac, faisions du vélo. Mais tous les jeudis, j'allais à la pêche avec mon père. Il travaillait beaucoup, mais jeudi était notre jour.
