Computer science is the most popular subject.We all like to work on computers,but we have only oneclass each week.Many students like art.They think it is the most interesting one.The easiest subjects are music and P. E.Because they make us feel relaxed.The most boring and difficult subjects are English and Chinese.You know,there are too many grammar rules to learn.
