They are actually taking an outdoor life class.It’s not a typical(典型的)class, but teachers are trying it out.
“We want kids to experience the outdoors,” the teacher John Harris said.
Twenty-six students took part in the semester-long class.The class includes four parts: archery(射箭), hunting safety, survival skills and fishing.Students will also discuss how to protect natural resources.
Before Harris’ class this year, archery teacher Andy Fewin taught a 9-week outdoor life class.He shares the same idea with Harris.He believes everyone needs to “ enjoy life” and “get outside”.
“The outdoor life class aims(目的) to get the kids interested in coming to school, really enjoying their class time,” Harris said.
But he said everyone needs to finish their other work first.“It really teaches them to focus and pay attention in class.If they don’t, then they’ll miss out on the fun things they’re doing,”he said.

How to Keep Good Relations with Parents
I have too many rules at home.My parents don’t allow me to hang out with my friends at night.They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either.And they care about my grades too much.I don’t think my parents can quite understand me.
However,I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure, I know it’s because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.
In order to keep good relations with my parents, I study hard, listen to them and talk to them like friends.I tell them my troubles and help them do more housework.Now I can get on well with my parents.
