Reading and Writing for 20mins

When our language teacher is not in class the supply teacher tells us to write for 20 minutes and read for the other 20 minutes. I enjoy the reading part but writing just isn't my thing. To me writing is pretty boring. I like it better when the language teacher is here and we get to do something besides reading and writing for the whole day. Another reason i don't like writing assigments when our teacher isn't there is because i can't ask questions. So this is my oppinion on reading and writing.
