UNIT 1 TEENAGE LIFE
Section Ⅰ Listening and Speaking & Reading and Thinking
School Life in the UK
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual, as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.

On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to studying and achieving high grades. This sounded like my school in China.
In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.

I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a challenge for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.
