Several days ago, some A 1 students visited our school. When we talked, I found some differences in school life between the USA and China. For example, each class lasts fifty minutes in the USA．It is a little l 2 than that in China. We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class. A 3 difference is that they have shorter break time between classes. Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their m 4 classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break. So they eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 a.m. and school is o 5 at 3:00 p.m. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.
Many Chinese students don’t work d 6 their school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in their f 7 time. They do not have a dream job in mind. They think t 8 is no difference between jobs. Working is a u 9 experience and they can make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year-full-time jobs a 10 they leave high school and then go to college. In my opinion, it’s good for their growth.
