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 hours 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 usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day,all students went to attend assembly.I sat next to a girl whose name is Diane.We soon became best friends.
During assembly,the headmaster told us about the rules of the school.He also told us that the best way to earn respect from the school was to work hard and achieve high grades.This sounded like my school in China.
I had many teachers in the past year and they each taught only one subject.Mr Heywood was my class teacher.My favourite teacher was Miss Burke.She was the teacher who taught us English literature.In our class there were 29 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 difficult to remember all the faces and names.
I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school,but it was a bit difficult for me at first because all the homework was in English.I felt lucky as all my teachers were very helpful and I enjoyed all my subjects:English,History,English Literature,Computer Science,Maths,Science,PE,Art,Cooking and French.
My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library.I joined the Computer Club at lunchtime,so I could e-mail my family and friends back home for free.I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings.Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy,prepare and cook food.At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something.I was glad that all my classmates enjoyed the cake that I made.
Students at that school have to study Maths,English and Science,but can drop some subjects if they don’t like them,for example,History,French and Art.They can choose other subjects like Woodwork,Computer Science or Languages,such as Spanish,German,etc.In woodwork class I made a small table.Though it didn’t look like a table when it was finished,I still liked it very much..
I missed Chinese food a lot at lunchtime.British food is very different.British people eat lots of desserts after their main meal.They don’t seem to like fruit as much as Chinese students.After lunch,we usually played on the school field.Sometimes I played football with the boys.Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life,and I hope that someday I can go back and study in Manchester again.
