A new school term begins. Is there anything new at your school ? Sichuan students are getting an extra (额外的 ) hour to sleep in the morning.

This year ,Sichuan schools decided that students should start classes later. This should help them feel less tired . For Junior high schools , the first class will begin no earlier than 8:30 am.

The changes have made students happy .

Liu Xian, 15, said his class was excited by the news on the first day of school . “It’s so good that we can get up later !”said Liu .

Liu studies in Chengdu No.4 Middle School .He used to get up at 6:40 am .Now he can get up at 7:40 am because class doesn’t start until 8:40 am.

Wu Hongli ,15, said the new timetable is good for her health . “I used to drink coffee every night or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework .”said Wu . “Now I can finish it without coffee.” She used to get up at 6:30 am. Now she can get up at 7:30 am.

Wu Hongli’s mother was happy ,too. She thought more sleep would help her daughter grow taller .

But some parents worried that more sleep would mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning .Now there are only four .

Many teachers ,though, say the changes will help students learn better .

“Students used to doze(瞌睡) for the first two classes in the morning ,” said Wu Zongping , an English teacher at Chengdu No .12 Middle School .“But now they look fine and they learn much better than before .”
