Transcript
Maisie: Hi Bruno, how are you finding life at senior high
Bruno: Oh, hi Maisie. Well, it’s OK, I guess. The one problem is that I
just don’t seem to have enough time for everything. There are
basketball games, the music club, the school party...
Maisie: Wow, you’ve got a lot on. But it’s more or less the same for me. And I find I always forget something.
Bruno: Me too. We need to do something about it. My father told me that
I should make a to-do list. What do you think
Maisie: It's a good idea to list the things we’re going to do.
Bruno: And how about recording the time it takes to do the activities
We can then see what takes up most of our time and make better
plans. What’s your opinion
Maisie: Great idea. And I’ve got two more ideas. Number one, only do
one thing at a time. That way, you’ll get things done more
quickly. For example, if you do your homework while watching
TV, it will just take longer to finish your homework.
Number two, do important things first.
Bruno: Nice ideas!
Maisie: How about we try all of them for a week and see if things get
better
Post-listening
Work in pairs. Act out another weekend plan and have a similar conversation.

Read the passage carefully.
In Britain，young people start secondary school at the age of 11 when they go into Year 7. They stay at school until they are 18. Most young people go to state secondary schools. King Alfred’s School is a typical state school in a small town called Wantage. It has about 1,800 pupils. A typical day begins with pupils arriving for classes which start at 8∶45.
After you watch
Most young people live in the town and walk or bike to school.There are more than 10 school buses for those who live further away. At this school, there are four classes every day. Each class lasts one hour and fifteen minutes, with many different subjects on the curriculum, including maths, English, science, French, art, physical education or PE, drama, information and communication technology — ICT and catering.
Read the passage carefully.
Practical work is very important for teaching and learning at this school. Pupils have the opportunity to carry out their own experiments in science，sometimes with unexpected results.
Catering is another subject which allows students to carry out practical work. The school has well-equipped kitchens in the class so that the students can make and taste their own food.
Read the passage carefully.
The first two classes stop at 11∶15 when there is a break for 15 minutes. Students have a quick snack and catch up with their friends. All pupils must wear a school uniform until the age of 16，no trainers. In the art class，students are making sculptures. Their work helps make the school look interesting and beautiful.
Read the passage carefully.
Lunch is at 12∶55 and pupils can buy a hot meal or sandwiches or can bring something to eat from home. Registration is at 1∶35 until 1∶55, which gives the students time to spend with their class tutors or go to assembly to hear school news and announcements.
There is just one class after lunch.The last class ends at 3∶10 and while some students go to one of the many after-school activities and clubs, most make their way home.
Read the passage carefully.
Watch the video again
How is the school in the video different from your school
You can talk from the following points:
Length of schooling (学制年限)
Schedule (日程表)
The number of classes each day
Class length (课堂长度)
School subjects (学科)
School regulations and rules (校规)
