Yesterday was a school day. In the morning, I was in the classroom with my friends. The teacher was Ms. Lin. She was very kind and helpful. We were all excited because there was a new student in our class. His name was Peter.

After school, I was at the park near my house. My friends Kevin and Amy were there, too. The weather was warm and sunny. We were very happy to play basketball together. I was not tired at all!

At night, I was at home with my family. My parents were in the kitchen. My little brother was in his room. I was at my desk. The whole family was happy. It was a wonderful day!
