skimming and scanning? In the UK, school starts around 9 am. And ends about 3.30 pm.
Here teachers treat students as equals and give them much encouragement.
The average size for British schools is not more than 30 students, but students have to move to different classrooms for different classes, so it’s a struggle to remember all their names.
As for the homework, it is not as heavy as what we used to get in China.
When it comes to the subjects, students have to study Maths, English and Science, but can also stop studying some subjects if they don’t like them. Instead, they can choose other subjects.
Students are encouraged to take part in different outdoor activities during the spare time, such as playing football or go to the computer club. Field trips are organized by schools to visit places which have something to do with education.? be yourself
