我在北京
我一直都很喜欢中国的文化。今年一月我离开家，离开了我的爸爸、妈妈，一个人坐飞机来北京学习汉语。老师和同学们对我非常好，他们帮助我提高汉语听、说、读、写能力，还告诉我北京人的工作和生活。
北京的春天天气很好，不冷不热，也很少下雨。我最喜欢北京的早上。每天早上五点半，我都会去跑步。在路上，我常常看见很多做运动的人。有的人在前面跑，他们的小狗在后面跑。人跑到哪儿，狗就到哪儿，太有意思了!很多商店很早就开门了，水果和菜就放在桌子上。卖东西的人坐在椅子上，手里拿着杯子，喝着茶，等着客人来买。晚上是我很喜欢的时间，我可以和朋友一起逛街、喝酒、吃好吃的东西。如果10点左右回家也没关系，因为中国是一个很安全的国家。
