In America, students are also very busy in a week even at the weekend!

In the morning, students get up early. Then they have a quick breakfast. Some even don’t have breakfast. At school, they have many subjects to learn. Classes often start at 8:30 every morning and the school day ends at 3:30 pm or 4:00 pm in the USA. After school, their parents also let them learn many other things, such as drawing, dancing, Chinese, playing the piano and so on. At the weekend, they also have to learn these things. They can’t do what they like, such as watching TV, playing games, shopping and so on. And they usually do a lot of homework.

Jenifer, a girl in a New York middle school, says she doesn’t want to learn so much. But her parents always say, “if you don’t learn much, you will fall behind the other students.”

In a word, all the students in the world are very busy even in the most developed country—America.
