Bob and Milly are chatting online. What are they talking about?

“Hi, Nice to meet you!”

“Hello. Nice to meet you too! ”

“I’m a girl. My name is Milly Green.”

“I’m a boy. My name’s Bob Brown. Would you please tell me something about yourself?”

“Yes. I’m thirteen years old. I like art. My favourite colour is red. I love volleyball. I often play it with my friends after school. It’s easy and interesting. By the way, I’m tidy. What about you?”

“Well, I’m not tidy. My things are everywhere, ha ha. My favourite colour is blue. I like volleyball too. But I don’t play it often. Volleyball is difficult for me. I love ping-pong. It’s fun. Oh, and I am two years older than you.”

American schools begin in September after a long summer holiday. There are two terms in a school year, the first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June. Most American children begin to go to school when they are five years old. Most children are seventeen or eighteen years old when they finish high school.

High school students take only five or six subjects each term (学期). They usually go to the same class every day, and they have homework for every class. After class, they do a lot of interesting things.

After high school, many students go to college (大学). They can go to a small one or a large one. They usually have to give a lot of money. So many college students work after class to get the money for their studies.
