How are you? This is what I like do in my free time. I

and play football with my friends. I enjoy do this very
much! I sometimes help my parents too. If I have
homework, I’ll try to finish it first before I do anything
else. But I don’t like have lots of homework! I don’t mind
to do homework. But I hate spend all evening on it! On

food is delicious!
What about you?
Best,
Duc
