He is comparing his school in the USA with Sunshine Middle School. Read what he wrote and answer the questions below. My school back home in the USA is quite different from Sunshine Middle School. Our classes are not as big as the ones here, and we have fewer students in each class. Here, students stay in their own classroom for most of their lessons. In the USA, we usually go to different classrooms to have different lessons. However, students here do not change classrooms as often as we do. So, they spend more time with their classmates and get to know each other better, but we get to know more students. Students here have students’ books for most of their subjects, but we only have textbooks for a few subjects. We often need to borrow books from the library or search online to finish our homework. 新课讲授 Reading Reading Listening Speaking Pre-listening number+hours/minutes school or home adj n n n Listening tips: 1.
