I have a Chinese friend; his name is Xiao Wang.
We're classmates at college.
Xiao Wang loves to sing, and he sings beautifully.
I can't sing Chinese songs.
On Sunday we go to his place: he sings and I listen.
He has a cat at home, and it loves listening to songs too!
In the evening we eat dumplings and drink tea.
I'm very happy to have a friend like Xiao Wang.
