Renmei Ding studies Chinese language and literature in the East Asian 
Department in our University. Chinese is difficult to learn. Everyday, 
there are a lot of new vocabularies (which) need to be memorized, a 
lot of characters (which) need to be written, and a lot of homework 
(which) need to be done. So, Ding is always busy. 

Everyday, Ding gets up at six thirty. After getting up, she reads 
Chinese texts out loud, and memorizes Chinese vocabularies. At seven 
fifty, she brushes her teeth, and takes a shower. She takes the 
school bus to go to the dining hall at eight thirty. Her boy friend 
Xueyou Xie waits for her at the dining hall entrance. They eat their 
breakfast together at the dining hall. 

Ding’s Chinese class is at nine fifty in the morning. She is out of 
class at eleven ten. After class, sometimes she goes to library to 
read books; sometimes she goes to language lab to listen to the 
tapes. Her afternoon classes, some are two fifty’s, and others are 
four thirty’s. If there is no class in the afternoon, Ding sometimes 
goes to work at the bookstore, sometimes studies together with her 
classmates. Ding often eats dinner at six thirty. Sometimes she eats 
dinner with her boy friend, sometimes she eats by herself. 

In the evening, Ding often studies at the library. She also often 
goes to the computer room to use computers. She uses computer very 
often. She uses computer to do her homework. She also uses the 
computer to look for material and to write to her parents and her 
friends. Ding returns to her dorm to sleep at eleven thirty.
