There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the United Kingdom with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now, both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the United Kingdom, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, and there are about 13 weeks each term. Students study and live with one another. They need permission to go outside. In some schools, each student has his or her own schedule. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other equipment for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theaters. Most boarding schools have a "lights out" time. So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the dormitories are turned off. Some senior teaching staff work as housemasters (舍监). Each of them takes care of 50 students all the time, and especially after school hours.

Nearly all students at boarding schools in the United Kingdom wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse (罩衫), sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
What to eat
In the United Kingdom, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread with marmalade (柑橘酱). They can also choose between a vegetarian meal and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always a salad buffet (自助餐) , other side-dishes and a dessert. Many boarding dormitories also have a kitchen so students can make themselves something to eat at any time, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

Everyone needs help
I helped others who needed help. And I also got much help from others.
Now I'll tell a story. Once* I went hiking in a mountain with my friends. The sights were so beautiful that we forgot the time. It was getting dark. We began to walk down. We walked for about an hour, but we couldn't get to the mountain foot. We realized that we were lost. We began to get scared. Luckily we met a woman who lived in the mountain village. She led us to the mountain foot. We said thanks to her, but she said we must also help her if she needed help. What a kind woman!
Everyone needs help. If we help each other, the world will be full of love.
