四、阅读理解
Most Chinese schools start on the same day in September. But US schools don’t. Classes can start any time between August and September. Each school gets to decide when their classes will start. If summer is hot, then school might start a little later.
In American schools, students don’t have fixed (固定的) classes. They can choose their favourite teachers and courses (课程) . So before school starts, they will spend some time picking their own schedule (课程表) .
For first-year students, the first day of school also means they finally get their own lockers (储物柜) . Elementary school students in the US have to share lockers with their classmates. But once students make it to junior high they finally get one of their own.

My ideal school
My ideal school starts at 9:30 a.m. and finishes at 4 p.m. We have half an hour of homework every day.
We have two hours for lunch. We can also chat, read books or take a walk at lunchtime.
The classes in my school are small. There are only 10 students in each class. We can choose subjects to study. I have Physics every day because I think it is very important.
There is a reading room, a football field and a swimming pool. We have all kinds of clubs. Every month we go on a school trip. It’s great fun.
