Monday, 9th December, 1985
Dear Diary,
Today we had a new blackboard! Miss Wang wrote notes on the blackboard. There were many new words today. I had to look them up in the dictionary. It was heavy, but I took it to school every day. It was very useful.
After school, I went to the bookshop. I can learn new things from books. I love reading very much. I had some cash with me, so I bought two books.
After that, I rode my bike to the post office (邮局). I sent a letter to my cousin in Beijing. I know I need to wait for about two weeks before I can get his reply (回信). After dinner, I watched my favourite TV programme (节目) on the small black-and-white TV at home. It was about sports. Then I washed clothes by hand. After I finished, I felt a little tired. Before bed, I read a storybook. Good night, Diary. See you tomorrow!
