Question

Do you know what school life is like in Singapore? In Singapore, a class only lasts half an hour, but there are no rests between classes. The students only have a 30-minute tea break after 3 or 4 classes.

They do not do eye exercises. Yao Suyu, a Singaporean student said our eye exercise were new to her. “I’d like to introduce them to our school,” she said. “They’re very useful.”

In Singapore school ends at 1:30p.m. But students join other clubs after school, such as dancing clubs and singing clubs. Yao said she joined the dancing club twice a week and it lasted from 1: 50 to 5:30 p.m.

Its population includes Chinese, Indians, Malays and Westerners. But there is no school for any one of the groups. The students in Yao’s school are Chinese, Indians and Malays. “The Indian students take Indian language classes when we study Chinese,” said Yao, “but if an Indian student is interested in Chinese, he ore she can study it, too.”

In Singaporean schools, teachers teach in English. It’s the official（官方的）language in Singapore. Singaporean students have to take different courses after school. Like most Singaporean students, Yao takes other courses in Chinese，such as math and English.
