School Life in the UK
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school 11 in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than 12 , as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day, all of the new students went to attend an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Dianne. We soon became best friends. During assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. We should mind our 13 based on the rules. He also told us that the best way to live up to our parents’ 14 was to work hard and 15 high grades. This sounded like my school in China.
I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. He told us that the more 16 we are, the more easily we can succeed. My favorite teacher was Miss Burke -I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. She asked us to 17 before we decide. In our class, there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
I found that the 18 was not as beavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first. I felt lucky, as almost all of my teachers gave me much encouragement, although a few make 19 comments on my essays. I would never be 20 for studying in this school.
