在英国的学校生活
去年,我有机会作为交换生到英国的一所中学读书。我寄宿在一个亲切友好的家庭,并与这家人的儿子丹尼尔一同上学。我们去年都读十年级,相处得很融洽。丹尼尔正在学习中文,今年要来中国与我一起学习生活。
英国的学校大约上午 9 点开始上课,大约下午 4 点放学。在英国的每个中学生必须学习英文、数学,以及科学课(生物、化学、物理)。在十年级学生们通常学习九门课程,他们还可以选修其他课程,比如历史、艺术和商业。
英国的课堂与中国不同。每位老师都有自己的教室,学生们每节课走班上课。在我所上的大部分课上,都只有二十几个学生。然而刚开始时,我仍然很难记住所有人的名字!
大部分课程我都喜欢,但是也有一些非常有挑战性。技术课很有意思。我做了一只钟带回家。老师帮助我完成了零件组装。我太喜欢这只钟了,现在还在用它当闹钟呢!我觉得数学很简单,学起来很愉快,因为英国的教材没有中国的难。不过,英文学习对我来说是一项巨大的挑战。难记的单词很多,特别是地理和生物词汇。在英国,课堂讨论很重要,可是我贡献不大,因为有时候我没办法用英文清楚地表达自己的观点。尽管作业不像以前那么繁重,却仍旧很有挑战性。幸好,老师和同学们一直都乐于帮助我,并给予我很多鼓励。渐渐地,我的语言能力提高了。
一小时的午餐时间,我在学校餐厅用餐。选择很丰富,有面包、黄油、鸡肉馅饼和布丁等等,但我还是想念妈妈做的菜!吃完午餐,我常常同丹尼尔,还有他的朋友们去学校的大运动场活动活动。有时候,我们就在树下小憩或者在草地上坐坐。
放学后,有许多俱乐部可以参加。最吸引我的是橄榄球俱乐部。我们每周打一次球,真的很有趣。我也喜欢去戏剧俱乐部表演。我还留着自己参演莎士比亚《仲夏夜之梦》时的剧照。加入俱乐部是与英国学生相识、交友的好方法。
我很高兴有机会体验这种不同的生活方式。在英国我见到了一些很棒的人,也了解了英国校园生活的方方面面。丹尼尔和他的家人是非常棒的东道主,丹尼尔的朋友也十分友好。我迫不及待要让丹尼尔来中国了!

[素能提升]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
It was the eary 1950s,and I was a member of the A class at Armidale Senior High School in northern New South Wales.
In second and third year we all did General Maths,and our teacher was Mrs Lindsay —Clare Lindsay.Her arrival at our classroom was always quick,“Good morning,everyone!” Then our books would be out,and we would watch her closely.
I've thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years.What was her special magic There are two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers.She loved her subject,and she loved us,in a patient and objective way.She had no favorites that I can remember,and she called us all by our first names pleasantly.She had a way of teaching that I loved.
“Now we could go down this path,couldn't we We could argue this,and then this,but that doesn't work because of this.No Can Do (NCD)!” She would put a big cross,and write “NCD” against what she had put down.“Right! Why not go down this new path?” And she would show us that this new way worked.It was fun,and her love for maths caught on.We,whether the poor students or the skilled,all did well because of her.I've never found maths difficult,and I put that skill down to her.
In fourth and fifth years,we divided into the science and arts streams,and Mrs Lindsay didn't teach us any more.But as the Leaving Certificate exams were coming,one of my friends became nervous about how much maths he didn't know.With great courage,he went to see Mrs Lindsay,and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Maths paper.“Of course!” she said,and did just that,after school,in her own time.He passed.What a good teacher!
