Class discussion is less frequent; teachers give more lectures in class.
We usually have much more homework every day.
Many students eat lunch at school dining hall or go home for meals.
We have various after-school clubs, but less spare time to take part in them.

British students move to different classrooms for different classes while Chinese teachers usually stay in fixed classrooms. Also British students have less homework and more after-school club activities.
2. Why did the writer find class discussion a big challenge in Britain?
Because he was not good enough at English. He couldn’t express his ideas clearly and failed to take an active part in class discussion.
What is your dream school like?
Write about it and give reasons.
•Word count: About 80 words.
•Introduce your dream school from at least three aspects (timetable, subjects, clubs, homework or class size).
•Explain your reasons for these ideas.
例:
My dream school has relaxing schedules and rich after-school activities.
First, classes start at 9 a.m., so we can get enough sleep. Second, we have fewer compulsory subjects and more optional courses such as painting and sports. Third, there are many interesting clubs after class, which help us develop hobbies. Besides, homework is proper, leaving us free time to relax.
I hope to learn happily and grow in a relaxing environment.
