John goes to No. 16 Middle School. He is 12 years old and today is his birthday. In the morning, his parents give him a nice present (礼物) — a new red bike. John is very happy. After breakfast, he goes to school by bike.

His friends all say, “What a nice bike!” John says “Thank you very much. It takes me 35 minutes to walk to school. Riding the bike can save (节省) me 20 minutes. It’s great. And it’s red. That’s my favorite color.” One of his friends Paul says “That’s good. Happy birthday, John! But if (如果) you have two bikes, you can save all the time on the way to school, right?”

My daughter Tina is fourteen. She is a student in a middle school. She always has some strange ideas.

One day she asks me, “Mom, what is your favorite subject?” I think about it and say, so music is my favorite subject. I like English and I am good at English. My history teacher says I am excellent (优秀的), too.Well, you know. What is your favorite subject, Tina? Tell me about it.

“I like Chinese. It is easy. I like English because my English teacher likes me very much. I can’t stand (忍受) math. It is sad.”

“Do you mean (意思是) your math teacher is sad?”

“No, it is math, not the math teacher.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because math has so many questions! Isn’t it sad all day?”

In America, students are also very busy every day! In the morning, students get up early. Then they have a quick breakfast. Some even don’t have breakfast. At school, they have many subjects to learn. After school, their parents also let them learn many other things, such as drawing, dancing, Chinese, playing the piano and so on. At the weekend, they also have to learn these things. They can’t do what they like, such as watching TV, shopping and so on.

And they usually do much homework. Jennifer, a middle school girl in New York, says she doesn’t want to learn so much. But her parents always say, “If you don’t learn much, you will fall behind (落后) the other students.”

In a word, all the students in the world are very busy.
