In America each student works as hard as he or she can in high school. If they don’t work hard enough to get good grades, they will not pass exams. If they fail, they won’t get into the college they want to. However, in high school you have more time to do things than in college. Many students take part in hobby groups. Other students go in for sports such as football, baseball or basketball. Nearly all high schools have sports teams. Also students usually get their first jobs when they are in high school, though the jobs aren’t very good. For example, a lot of students work at fast food restaurants. In American high schools, fashion seems very important. If you don’t have the newest and coolest clothes as those children who certainly already have them, they will think you are not cool.

In China, many students spend much of their time on their studies, and don’t help with housework at home. As a result, they lack(缺乏) basic(基本的) skills.

Luckily, things are changing. Last year, many schools began to teach students life skills. Guangming Middle School in Sichuan set up some farming clubs. There students learnt to plant vegetables. “At first I thought I could only learn to grow some vegetables here, but actually, I learnt a lot about vegetables.” said Chen Jia, a girl at the school.

In Hope Middle School, students have a special life skill class: they learn to make dumplings in different kinds of shapes. “I couldn’t make dumplings before, but now I am good at doing it. I really love my life skill class. It’s my favourite class.” said Zhang Yan, a boy at the school.

In fact, learning life skills is as important as learning Chinese and maths, because it helps us prepare for our future life. Boys and girls, do you help your parents do housework at home? If not, maybe you should get started now.

【推荐1】My name is Susie Thompson, and I’m fifteen. I’ve been at River School, London, since I was eleven. If I pass my exams next year, I’ll stay here until I’m eighteen.

We go to school every weekday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Before class, our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There, our head teacher tells us news about the school. At 9:05 am the bell rings, and lessons start. Each lesson lasts for an hour. We have a break from 11:05 am until 11:15 am, then another lesson, and then lunch for an hour. In the afternoon, we have two more lessons before school finishes.

This year I have ten subjects: maths, English, physics, chemistry, French, history, geography, music, IT and PE. Some people learn German instead of French. ①It’s lucky we don’t have exams in every subject.

We have a large sports ground for football and tennis. We can play both during and after school hours in it. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies, are popular too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and to camps for activities such as climbing and walking in the country. There are parties and a sports day, and school plays are really popular. Once a term, there is a parents’ meeting. ②所以我们的家长们和老师们可以谈论我们的进步。

What do I like best about school? English, chemistry, music, sports clubs, school plays ... and above all, my friends!
