Sunday..... One of the worst days of the week. Sure, it's a weekend, but the fact that I have Chinese Class and I can't stay up late ruins the whole thing. For people who don't know, my parents are chinese. I was born in Australia. When I was still a little toddler, I used to speak quite a bit of chinese because there wasn't any other childern really to influence what I spoke. But as I started school, I spoke less and less chinese, as in the schools in Australia, youi speak English. So, I had no choice.
After a while, I forgot some of the words I had suposedly known when I was little. So my parents, along with other parents, invented a Chinese school that was to be held on Sundays for two hours. Here, they teach you how to speak, write and read. And the fact that I hate the chinese class, I almost learn nothing from it. It is extremely boring. My parents know I hate it, but they don't care. Their excuse is, "What happens when you go back to China? All your relatives speak Chinese and you can't. How can you communicate?"
How the hell should I know? All I want to do is not go to Chinese class.
