Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about l, 500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years old, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

Are your parents often angry with you? Or you always disagree with your parents. Maybe the relationships between you and your parents are terrible. It's difficult to make your home a happy and healthy place. In fact, you can change the situations by the following keys.
Respect(尊重) It's important to show your respect and care about your parents feelings. Though you have disagreements(分歧), at least try to understand whatever they are trying to tell you. You shouldn't keep your own thoughts only.
Communication You can communicate with your parents in a polite way. You may not get what you want, but explaining your thoughts calmly and rationally(理性的)may show your parents that you are no longer a kid.
Trust How can your parents build trust in you? It depends on what you do. For example, if you get home late without calling first, next time your parents may not believe you. To earn(赢得)their trust, you must pay attention to the ways you do things instead of fighting with them. It will make your life much easier.
Taking time together Some teens find that sharing time together can build trust and communication. Your parents may be interested in going shopping, hanging out and playing cards with you. Spending time together will drive away the“black cloud”hanging over your home.
Your parents give all their love to you. Why not these ways actively to own a happy family as you want?

Dear Jack,
Can you believe I'm in a school of 2030 now? The school is like a beautiful garden. The wall of our classroom is colorful. Our school life is interesting.
In the morning, we have three classes. We study on the Internet. We use the e-books. The teachers are all robots. They are in different rooms and they can answer any questions. Our robot music teacher plays the guitar very well. In the afternoon, we take a plane to the Mars to have two classes. I make friends with aliens(外星人). They are friendly and know us well. After class, we play soccer with them. Then we go back to the earth. Don't you think the life in this school is very interesting?

A. Eating too much chocolate is bad for your teeth. After meals and before bedtime, you need to brush your teeth. If you still have a toothache, you must go to the dentist. B. Firstly, you should stay away from your computer. Playing computer games too much is bad for your body. Secondly, try massaging (按摩) your neck to help to relax it. I believe you will feel better soon. C. Take some medicine and drink much hot water to help stop the fever and headache when you get a cold. Also, you need to do exercise every day to make your body stronger so that you won't get a cold easily. D. Why don't you lie down and have a good rest? Also, you could close your eyes or look at some green plants to rest them after watching the screen for long. But if your eyes still hurt, then go to the hospital. E. Don't worry. Let me tell you how to deal with it. You should run the cut under water first. And then put some medicine and a bandage on it. F. I think you should go to the hospital and take a chest X-ray first, and then follow what the doctor asks you to do. The most importantly, I think you should give up smoking. G. Why not drink some hot tea with honey as soon as possible? It works very well. If your throat still hurts, then I think it's necessary for you to see a doctor. |
