Welcome to the unit

Step 1: Brainstorming

It’s the beginning of a new term. You have just finished junior high and are about to enter a new

period in your studies. I am very happy to have all of you in my class and I hope we can be friends.

I can see that some of you are eager to know what studying at senior high will be like. Will it be

different from junior high? Well, there are certainly many differences between junior high and

senior high, but there are also some things that are the same in every school in China. What about

schools in other countries? Do students learn differently and have different experiences? Are

schools all over the world the same?

This is the subject of our first unit. Today we are going to look at schools in the United

Kingdom and try to work out if they are the same or different from schools in China. Here are four

pictures that show some aspects of school life in the UK. Please look at the pictures, read the

instructions and try to determine the differences between schools in China and the UK. Step 2: Discussing and practicing

Let’s have a discussion for several minutes. (The teacher can use the following contents to help

students.)

Huge campus and low-rise buildings: In the United Kingdom, we can see huge campus and

low-rise buildings in this picture. It is the biggest difference from schools in China. Schools in

China usually have a large enough campus to make sure students have enough space to study and

play in. But most school buildings are taller, at least three storeys.

Lockers for every student: In the United Kingdom, there are rows of lockers by the classrooms

for students to put their stationery, books, exercise-books and other belongings. In China students

bring what they need for lessons to school and then take it all back home after school. Most

schools in China do not have the equipment in the classroom.

Fewer students in each class: In the United Kingdom, there are fewer students in a class, no

more than 30 per class. In China, There are usually more students in high school, perhaps 50 to 60

per class. Recently some schools are beginning to limit the number of students in each class.

At ease with our teacher: In the United Kingdom, students have a close relationship with their

teachers. They feel at ease and comfortable with them. It is similar in China. Nowadays, lots of

teachers and students have established a good relationship with each other. They respect each

other and work to gain a better understanding of each other.

Now try to combine your own school experiences with knowledge gained from this text and

other sources, so that you can participate fully in the discussion. (Give students a couple of

minutes to talk about the following three questions.)

1. Do you know any other differences between the lives of Chinese and British high school

students?

2. What kind of school activities do you enjoy?

3. What is your dream school life like?

Now in groups exchange your opinions and everyone is supposed to speak out your idea.

Each group will then report your conclusions to the whole class.
