Life in a Chinese School
The school
My name is Daniel. I am in Grade 8. This is my second year at middle school. When we are in Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue our studies. We go to school five days a week and have seven lessons every day. We study Chinese, Maths and English. We also have other subjects like Geography, History and Computer Studies. I like Maths best among all the subjects.
Activities
We have different clubs after school. Some clubs are for fun, such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some Clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club, the Physics Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs. We sometimes practise English in the English Corner. I have improved my spoken English a lot. On Wednesday and Thursday, we go to the library and borrow some books and magazines. Time seems to travel faster when we do the reading.
Big brothers and sisters
Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes don’t want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. At our school, the older students can join the Helping Hands Club. These big brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them to work out their problems.
In China, everybody thinks it is very important to go to school. We are happy to be at school. And I should say our school is the best!
