及约下午3.30 结束.这意味着我能得到比平常晚一个小时的时间，因为在中国的学校在上午8点之前开始上课。

我在英国上了一年的中学。

回想起来，那是一段令我非常开心，非常兴奋的经历。

我很喜欢英国中学的作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午3点半放学。

这意味着我每天可以比以往晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。

开学的第一天，所有的学生要去参加晨会。

我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩旁。

我们很快成了最好的朋友。

在晨会上校长向我们宣布了校纪校规。

他还告诉我们，赢得全体师生尊敬的最佳途径就是努力学习，得高分。

这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的中学。

过去的一年里我有过许多老师，每位老师只教一门功课。

海伍德先生是我们的班主任。

我最喜欢的老师是教我们英国文学的伯克小姐。

我们班上一共有29个学生。

英国中学的班级差不多就这么大。

我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。

上某些课的时候，我们班上的同学也不一样，所以很难记住每个人的长相和名字。

我发现这里布置的家庭作业不象我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英语的。

让我感到幸运的是，所有的老师都非常热心地帮助我，因此，我也喜欢我所学的每一门功课：英语，历史，英国文学，计算机，数学，科学，体育，艺术，烹调和法语。

我每天都在使用英语，每天还花一个小时在图书馆里阅读英文书籍，因此，我的英语有了很大进步。

午饭时间我常去电脑俱乐部，这样我可以免费给国内的家人和朋友发电子邮件了。

我还额外选了一门功课----每个星期二晚上去听法语。

当我学会如何买菜，配菜和做菜的时候，我发现烹饪真是一种乐趣。

学期末，我们班开了个派对，我们每人都为派对做一份食品。

我们班上所有的同学都喜欢我做的蛋糕，这可真让我高兴。

数学，英语和科学是该校的必修课，但是，如果不喜欢某些科目是可以不学的。

如历史，法语和艺术。

学生可以选修其他的科目。

如木工，计算机或者是西班牙语，德语之类的语言课。

在木工课上我做了一张小桌子。

尽管完工之后它看上去并不象什么桌子，但我仍然非常喜欢它。

每到吃午饭时我都非常想念中国菜。

美国总统奥巴马开学演讲《我们为什么要上学？》英文全文（共5则）第一篇：美国总统奥巴马开学演讲《我们为什么要上学？》英文全文美国总统奥巴马开学演讲《我们为什么要上学？》英文全文Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times,I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even goodenough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and yourintellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was--I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's noexcuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meetthem.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots du ring his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understoodthat you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where yousit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.第二篇：美国总统奥巴马开学演讲英文原稿美国总统奥巴马开学演讲英文原稿整理：微薄哥哥ic for me either, buster.“(Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talkedabout teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with yourlife, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer?

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends a nd relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1.

High school often serves to prepare students for a college education, or it might be the last stop on the educational journey for some people. No matter which path one may choose, high school life offers students the opportunities to achieve a great deal of learning, get to know themselves, or simply have fun.In America, high school is a special experience with a culture of its own. Public high schools exist in all communities(社区). Every community in the United States has a public school system, teaching children at primary and secondary levels. These schools are free and supported mainly by taxes, with additional aid from states and governments. Private high schools are a choice for parents who want to give their child a better education. They are often very expensive. Private schools are usually famous for their academic reputation (学术声望). This academic reputation is related to college preparation.In high school, students study various academic subjects such as English, literature, foreign languages, maths, science, history, geography and so on. Some large high schools have classes that teach job-related subjects like auto mechanics, cooking and others, in order to provide students with skills needed for certa in jobs. High school might also offer “honours classes” for particularly smart and sharp students.Some states give basic skills exams during the last year of the high school process to make sure that certain academic standards are met, but, again, high school curricula (课程) vary greatly among communities.High school sports, particularly basketball and football, are often organised. Inter-city and cross-town competitions are often held. These competitions are popular, especially in communities that do not have their own professional sports teams. Nearly all high school teams have nicknames: the Knights and the Tigers being some famous examples.1. Which of the following is not the supporting source of public school?A．Taxes.

Hundreds of friends on Facebook can’t replace a handful of close friends in real life, a study has found. In a recent study, researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.Social media, the researchers said, has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of “friends”. But instead of trying to amass friends, they added, a better cure for lo neliness might be spending time with those you’re closest to.Scientists from the University of Leeds did their study using data from two online surveys on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization. People taking part in the study showed their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being. They included details of how often and how they interacted (交流) with families or neighbors, and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.The number of close friends someone had appeared to be the only thing which influenced how satisfied they were with their social life.“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, a nd more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr Wändi Bruine de Bruin. Actually, it's often the younger adults who admit to having a bad opinion of their friends.If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “amass” in Paragraph 2?A．Play the role of. B．Think highly of.C．Take advantage of. D．Increase the number of.2. What can be learned from the scientists’ study?A．Scientists did one online survey on 1,496 people.B．People surveyed mentioned new forms of social networks.C．People surveyed showed their ways to interact with families.D．The number of friends was the only cause of people’s happin ess.3. What makes people happy in social life?A．Living alone.B．Having close friends.C．Having good appearance.D．Making as many friends as possible.4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To advise us to make friends online.B．To show us the importance of friends.C．To present us with the findings of a study.D．To tell us the problems causes by loneliness.5. Travelling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 1 The following article discusses the advantages of traveling. Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you. 2Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. 3 When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine. 4 They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. 5With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.6. A video about a homeless man went viral.

美国学生的学校生活和我们的不同英语作文The school life of American students is quite different from ours. In America, students have more freedom to choose the subjects they want to study and can even change their major multiple times throughout their college years. This flexibility allows them to explore different areas of interest and develop a well-rounded education.美国学生的学校生活与我们不同。

在美国，学生有更多的自由选择所要学习的科目，甚至可以在大学期间多次改变专业。

这种灵活性使得他们能够探索不同的兴趣领域并获得全面发展。

Another notable difference is the presence of extracurricular activities in American schools. The range of extracurricular activities available is vast, varying from sports teams to clubs focusing on specific interests such as photography or debate. These activities play a significant role in shaping American students' overall development, as they provide opportunities for teamwork, leadership, and personal growth outside the academic realm.另一个显著的区别是美国学校存在课外活动。

中美初中学校生活的不同英语作文The Differences between Middle School Life in China and the United StatesMiddle school is a pivotal time in a person's life, where they transition from childhood to adolescence and begin to develop their own identities. This period is also a time when students experience a variety of changes and challenges as they navigate the complex world of education and social interactions. In this essay, we will explore the differences between middle school life in China and the United States, focusing on various aspects such as academics, extracurricular activities, social life, and cultural influences.Academics:In China, middle school students typically have a rigorous academic schedule that includes studying subjects such as Chinese, math, English, science, history, and geography. The emphasis is on rote memorization and mastery of knowledge, with students facing intense competition to excel in exams and secure spots in top high schools and universities. In contrast, American middle school students have a more flexible curriculum that allows them to explore a range of subjects anddevelop their own interests. They also have a greater emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, with a focus on preparing students for college and career readiness.Extracurricular Activities:In China, extracurricular activities are not as common in middle schools, as students are expected to devote most of their time to studying and preparing for exams. While some schools may offer clubs or sports teams, these activities are usually limited in scope and participation. In the United States, middle school students have a wide variety of extracurricular options to choose from, including sports, music, drama, art, debate, science clubs, and community service projects. These activities provide students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop social skills, and build leadership qualities outside of the classroom.Social Life:Chinese middle school students tend to have a more structured and disciplined social life, with friendships often formed based on academic performance and shared interests. There is a strong emphasis on respect for authority figures, such as teachers and parents, and students are expected to follow strict rules and norms of behavior. In American middle schools,social interactions are more informal and based on individuality and self-expression. Students have greater freedom to express themselves, form friendships based on personal values and hobbies, and navigate social hierarchies and cliques within their peer groups.Cultural Influences:The cultural influences on middle school life in China and the United States are also distinct. Chinese students are shaped by a collectivist culture that values unity, conformity, and filial piety. They are often under pressure to meet family expectations, achieve academic success, and uphold traditional values. American students, on the other hand, are influenced by a more individualistic culture that celebrates personal autonomy, diversity, and self-expression. They are encouraged to pursue their own goals, express their unique identities, and challenge societal norms and conventions.In conclusion, the differences between middle school life in China and the United States reflect the unique educational, social, and cultural contexts of each country. While Chinese students may benefit from a strong academic foundation and disciplined work ethic, American students may gain valuable skills in creativity, critical thinking, and social interaction. Byunderstanding and appreciating these differences, we can learn from each other and foster greater cross-cultural understanding and cooperation in the global community.。

中美学校生活的不同英语作文Differences in School Life between China and the United StatesSchool life in China and the United States differs significantly in various aspects, reflecting the distinct cultural and educational traditions of the two countries. In this essay, I will explore some of the key differences in school life between China and the United States.Firstly, the structure and organization of school days differ greatly. In China, school days tend to be longer and more structured, with a focus on rigorous academics and standardized testing. Students often have a fixed schedule with little room for flexibility, and homework and extracurricular activities can take up a significant amount of time after school. On the other hand, in the United States, school days are typically shorter and more relaxed, with more emphasis on creativity, critical thinking, and participation in extracurricular activities. Students often have more freedom to choose their courses and schedule their time.Secondly, the role of teachers and student-teacher relationships vary. In China, teachers often play a moreauthoritative role, with a focus on imparting knowledge and enforcing discipline. Student-teacher relationships can be quite formal and hierarchical. In contrast, in the United States, teachers tend to be more approachable and collaborative, encouraging students to think independently and express their opinions. Student-teacher relationships are often more casual and interactive.Furthermore, the approach to learning and assessment differs as well. In China, a strong emphasis is placed on academic performance and grades, with a focus on rote learning and memorization. Standardized tests such as the Gaokao play a crucial role in determining students' futures. In the United States, however, there is a greater emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on learning.
