Have you ever met anyone of your age from America Do you think you would have a lot in common with middle school students there
With only one look, you can see lots of differences. For example, classes in American schools are smaller than yours. Most classes have no more than 30 students. Most students in the US don’t wear school uniforms. And they don’t have group exercises each day as the way you do. If they saw your exercises, they would think you were very strange!
In fact, Chinese students and American students have very different lives.
What’s the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning It’s probably your lessons at school. Chinese students are very hard-working, always under lots of stress from their parents and teachers.
Chinese students study hard at night, and sometimes even on the weekend because their exams are very important.
For Chinese students, school is life, but not for American students. They don’t have to worry about passing exams all the time, so they can spend time in and out of school doing things they enjoy. Kids do different things for fun, like playing sports, making music or surfing the Web.
But many American teachers think that just studying hard isn’t enough to make a good student. They encourage students to become well-rounded by trying lots of different things.
