Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I found 1 differences in school life between the US and China. For example, each class 2 fifty minutes in the US. It is a little 3_than that in China. We usually have forty-five minutes in each class. Another difference is that they have less break time between 4 . Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their 5 classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have _6 break, so they need to eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 pm and school is over at 7 3:00 pm. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.
Many Chinese students don’t work during their high school years, 8 the US students like to find a part-time job(兼职) in their free time. They don’t have a dream job in mind. They think 9 is no difference between jobs. Working is a useful experience for them and they make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs 10 they leave high school and then go to college.
