【推荐2】The class in America is almost the same as that in China. But something is different.

In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don't understand(明白) it, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to say it again. If you don't know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don't know. Then he or she knows what you need to do.

You mustn't be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher agrees to have a make­up_test for you, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school.

Be on time! It's impolite to be late. If you do come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Take your books out of your bag after you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit down quietly. In the US, you needn't knock(敲) at the door before you come into the classroom.

If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too. There's no need to ask for the teacher's agreement.
