{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn)how to play the piano is not the only way for children to have a bright future. Children can choose what they like in many ways. Many children are good at sports, maybe they will be great players{#blank#}2{#/blank#}they grow up.

    Here is another example: the schools have paid much attention to story-telling recently. Story-telling can make students become better at talking. They hold many story-telling contests every year. And children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(show)great interest and taken an active part in them. Some students who were too shy to speak in public have been now very good speakers.

    Now many parents send their children to learn how to play the piano or the violin. But the money and energy they spend cannot {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make)sure that their children will learn a lot on a short period of time. However, training children to tell a story is quite different.

    Although it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (cost)little, it's a good and an easy way for children to develop.

    Chinese schools are very different from British schools. In Britain（英国）, students have fewer classes t{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in China. In Britain, classes s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} at about 9:00 a.m. and finish at about 3:30 p.m. British students also have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(little) homework than Chinese students. This gives British students {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) free time to go to school clubs.

    In Britain, students{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (usual) wear a skirt or trousers, a jacket and a tie. Some people think this {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) very smart, but others don't think their{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(uniform) look very nice. In Britain, students study the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} subjects as in China. Just like in China, different {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (student) have different opinions（观点）about schools in Britain. Some students think that school is very{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (interest), but some students think it is very boring.
