Hi Steve, Thanks very much for your email. At the moment, I am studying really hard. I am sitting my exams next week. My lessons start at 8:30. After school, I go to my part-time job. I am working in a library for the next few months. Tonight, I am meeting my friends. Anyway, I'd better finish here. Write again soon. Victor.

Reasons:

1. "I am studying" - Present continuous tense is used to express an action that is happening at the moment of speaking, which is "now."
2. "I am sitting" - Present continuous tense is used for actions that have been planned or arranged in the future, and the exams are scheduled for next week.
3. "start" - Present simple tense is used to describe a regular, repeated action. The lessons start at the same time regularly.
4. "I am working" - Present continuous tense is used to talk about an action that is happening at the moment or around the present time. The person is currently employed in the library.
5. "I am meeting" - Present continuous tense is used for planned future events. The person has already arranged to meet their friends tonight.
