Here
is something about an American high school and its students.
An
American high school has a few large buildings and it's big enough for about
1,500 students. Each student has a locker(储物柜)in the hallway. When they
are at school, they take their textbooks and outdoor clothes out. Because American
textbooks are expensive, the school libraries usually loan them to
students. But they must pay for them if they lose them.
American
students usually take a yellow school bus to school. Sometimes their parents drive
them to school. When they are 16, most of them take a free driving class at
school. Then they can drive by themselves to school.
Each day, students must take Science, Maths and
English classes. They can also choose Art.
Fashion
and other classes. They usually go to different classrooms for different
subjects because the teachers have their own classrooms.
The
school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school, more than half of
the students take part in after-school activities such as sports and join some
school clubs.
