  Think about this:people wearing clothes from their own countries.They walk around, grouped by country.They say “Happy United Nations Day”in different languages.

  Sounds like a UN meeting? Well, not really.It’s a meeting of students and teachers at the Beijing BISS International School! BISS teaches lessons in English.

  On Wednesday, about 400 students from more than 40 countries got together to celebrate UN Day at BISS! They were also there for the tenth birthday of the school.

  BISS students had a day of fun! All of them became stars.They sang, danced and even acted in short plays.“I love UN Day.We have so many different things to see and hear, and different foods to try! ” said Elliott, a Grade 7 boy from New Zealand.Yeon Park is a 14-year-old Korean girl.“I love making friends from different countries,” she said.“They can teach me many new things.” But she didn’t have any friends at first because she didn’t speak good English.“I learned quickly.My teachers let us learn by playing games.” Ian, 14, is a boy from Malaysia.He had many ways to talk with his foreign friends.“When I couldn’t use English, I drew pictures or made signs,” he said.

  Many students think the best thing about the day is the food! Parents brought food from their countries to school for lunch.There was Japanese sushi(寿司), Canadian apple pies(派)and even African bread!
