Rong Zichen, 13, Chengdu

Sichuan Students from different countries share what their school day is like. So I made a report about their school day life.

Amelia Gon, 12. The American School Foundation 

Every morning I get up early to catch the bus. I get to school at about 7: 15 am. After meeting with my friends, we go to our classes. The first class starts at 7: 45. All my classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Between classes, we have a 5-minute break. After the first class, I go to homeroom for 30 minutes. Then, it's time for a break! I eat snacks (零食) and talk with friends. At 10: 00, I walk to my next class. At 11: 30, the third class starts and lunch starts at 12: 50. After lunch, I have the last class, then I take the bus home.

Chelsea Wang, 13. Barker College 

My day starts with my debate (辩论) practice at home because I am on my school debate team. The first class starts at 9: 45 a.m. Normally we have seven classes on Tuesday and six classes on the other school days. The children go to different classrooms for the different subjects. In different classes, we can meet different friends. It is great!

From the world's heaviest apple, the oldest lady to the world's smallest dog, these are all parts of a group of the world's strangest people and things. And they are all in the Guinness Book of Records(《吉尼斯记录》).

The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it's always one of the bestselling books in the world.

People now can break over 1000 records every week! Why do so many people want to break the records? Do they want their names in the book or meet more people around the world? "It gives people a chance to show they're the best in the world." said one of the record keepers Stewart Newport.

The book was started by Hugh Beaver from Britain. In 1951, he went shooting birds and talked with his friends about the fastest bird in Europe. Three years later, they were still talking about it. So Beaver believed that people must have different ideas. So, he decided to start a book to record the world's truly greatest people and things in it!

The newest book came outlast Tuesday. This book has a lot of interesting records. Here are two:

☆ A British dog, Whitney, is the world's smallest dog. It's only 76mm tall.

☆ An American woman Lee Redmond has the longest fingernails(指甲).They grew as long as 600 mm! She made the record in 1971.
