I had a very good day today. Firstly, I exercised! I did 200 push ups, but they were not too hard. Moreover, I rode my bicycle for 2 kilometers in the park. I sweated a lot! Secondly, I had a delicious lunch. I had chicken with pasta, and I put carbonara sauce on it. When I was thirsty, I drank apple juice. Finally, I wrote an email to my friend. She lives in Argentina. We always talk about interesting topics.

What is your favorite room in your apartment or house?

Oh, that's an easy one. I have to say the living room. So many activities take place there! We often play with our pet cat there. There are a lot of places for her to hide. We also watch movies on our flat screen while enjoying a bowl of potato chips or popcorn. I put my notebook computer on the coffee table and do some reading sometimes, but that's not always a good idea because the sofa is so cozy I to want to fall asleep!
