Daniel is visiting an online club called Schools Around the World. Here are two pieces of writing on the website about different school lives.
Hi, everybody, My name is Nancy. I am in Year 7 at Woodland School near London. In our school, boys and girls have lessons together. Among all my subjects, I like French best. Learning foreign languages is fun. Our school has a Reading Week every year. During the week, we can borrow (借) more books from the school library. We can also bring in books and magazines from home. I often read more books than my classmates. Near the end of the week, we talk about the books with our classmates in class. Time seems to go faster when we are reading interesting books. |
Hi, guys, I’m John and I’m 13 years old. I’m in the 7th grade at Rocky Mountain High School near Denver. Every Monday, I go to the Buddy Club. In the club, older students help new students learn more about the school. My friend Tony is in the 12th grade. He often listens carefully to my problems and gives me help. He is my best friend. We have different classes every day. On Friday afternoon, we finish classes earlier than usual. My friends and I often do sports together. Twice a week, I play basketball after school. I love this game and practice hard every time. Our team won two games last month. |
