Wang Xirui, 13, Anshan: Our school lets us see films at midday, for around 30 minutes. We see one film every three days. We've seen lots of good films including Ice Age and Mr. Bean. They are great fun!

Tang Tingting, 14, Shanghai: During class breaks, I often go to library to read books. I read cartoons like Father and Son. They make me laugh. After school, I usually play badminton with my classmates for about 20 minutes.

Zhou Shu, 14, Yangzhou: Playing jianzi is very popular in our class. Boys and girls play together during class breaks. We sweat (出汗) a lot. Girls also play paper, scissors and rocks(石头剪刀布), with their feet. Why? Because it's so cold so it's a good way to keep our feet warm!
