Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I discovered   31   differences in school life between the US and China. For example, each class   32   fifty minutes in the US. It is a little   33   than that in China. We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class. Another difference is that they have less break time between   34  . Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their   35   classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they   36   eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 pm and school is over   37   3:00 pm. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.

Many Chinese students don’t work during their high school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in   38   free time. They don’t have a dream job in mind. They think   39   is no difference between jobs. Working is a useful experience for them and they can make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs   40   they leave high school and then go to college.

In Singapore, many middle school students spend a lot of their time on their studies. Good education is often regarded as a ticket to success in their future. So many of these students try their best to get good marks in their examinations. They have a lot of homework every day and exams are a big headache. Sometimes some of them are even made to go to remedial(补习的)classes after school.

Schools run programmes outside school hours. The students can take part in sports and games, music and dance, hiking and rock-climbing, etc. They are also very active in community service(社区服务).

In their spare time, most students like to listen to pop music. Hollywood blockbusters(大片), and Hong Kong and Singapore movies are very popular among them. They understand IT very well. Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet, e-mailing their friends, and playing computer and video games.

They sometimes go to cafes, fast-food restaurants, shopping centers and big bookstores.

So, it looks like life as a middle school student in Singapore is not easy but it is rich and colorful.
