Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather rent (租用) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn (赚得，挣得) passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can drive themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required (要求)to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students need to join in after-school activities. These activities include(包括) sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

| Mr. Helpful, I'm not a top student. Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. Although I spend much time studying for the tests, I can't get good grades. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it,but it doesn't work. What do you think I should do? |
| Wang Tao Dear Wang Tao, Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison,a famous scientist, did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy. But,as an ~adult,he made many discoveries(发明) that helped a lot of people. When I was at a young age,I didn't do well at school. I just kept working hard and at last I succeeded. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better. Mr. Helpful |

We go to school every day and enjoy our school life. School life is full of fun, and the school seems to be the safest place in the world.
But do you know that our school life could be dangerous if we are not careful enough? How do we make the school safer ? Here are some tips for us to be safe in an easy way. For example, we must remember some important rules in the playground. Before we do sports, we need to do some warm up activities(热身运动), and after that we should drink some water. And in the classroom, we need to learn how to behave well. Don’t run in the hallways. We mustn’t fight with or run after each other. And teachers need to keep an eye on the students after class and stop them from running. We students should remember not to be naughty and get into trouble. What’s more, we can have some practice to learn to protect ourselves from a fire. In this way, we can know where to go if there is a fire in our school. We should learn to use the fire extinguisher（灭火器）,too. I don’t think we should put our a fire by ourselves, because it is too dangerous for young students. Well, I think all of us should think more of our safety in school.
