Comparative reading
My name is Akira. I am from Japan. In my school, there’re boys only. I walk to school like many of my classmates in my school. Many of my friends have to take the bus. I know it seems strange to travel so far to school, but it is worth because my school is very good, Students have to score very high to come to my school. In the school, I like Maths best, and I often go to the art club.
We have to clean our classroom at the end of each day and make sure that it is very well cleaned at the end of the week. On weekends, I often chat with my friends on the Internet and we can spend time together.
We always try to be polite and to help our school keep its good reputation. I am proud of my school.
