School life in the UK
英國的校園生活
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me.
在英國一年的中學生活是一段令我非常開心、非常興奮的經歷。
I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m.
我對英國學校的作息時間感到非常開心,因為學校上午9點左右上課,下午3點30左右放學。
This means I could get up an hour later than usual, as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
這就是說我可以比平時晚起床一個小時,因為國內的學校是早上8點前上課。
On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall.
開學第一天,所有的新生都去學校禮堂參加晨會。
I sat next to a girl whose name was Diane.
我坐在一個名叫黛安的女孩旁邊。
We soon became best friends.
我們很快就成為了好朋友。
During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school.
晨會上,校長給我們講述了學校的規章制度。
He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades.
他也告訴我們,要想得到尊重,最好的辦法是努力學習并得到高分。
This sounded like my school in China.
這聽上去倒像是我在國內就讀的中學。
I had many teachers in the past year.
在過去的一年中,我有很多位老師。
Mr. Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful.
海伍德先生,我們的班主任,很愛幫助別人。
My favourite teacher was Miss Burke—I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature..
我最喜歡的老師是伯克小姐——我喜歡她教授的英國文學課程。
In our class there were 28 students.
我們班上有28名學生。
This is about the average size for British schools.
這大概是英國學校的平均規模。
We had to move to different classrooms for different classes.
我們上不同的課得去不同的教室。
We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
上某些課時,班上的同學也不一樣,所以對我來說記住所有的面孔和名字可是一件難事。
I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school.
我發現這里的家庭作業不像我以前在原來的學校時那么繁重。
However, it was a bit challenging for me at first because all the homework was in English.
但是起初,這對我來說有些挑戰性,因為所有的家庭作業都是用英文書寫的。
I felt lucky as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects:
我覺得很幸運,因為我的老師們都給我鼓勵,我喜歡所有的科目:
English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.
英語、歷史、英國文學、計算機科學、數學、自然科學、體育、藝術、烹飪和法語。
