Last month I went to Kate’s school in the UK.It was really different from my school in China.

    Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and everyone wore the school tie.

    Some of Kate’s lessons were a bit strange for me. We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were quite some old words like “thou” and “thee” to mean“you ”. In history we studied 20th Century China. It was strange hearing a foreign side of history-and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!

Classes were also a lot more relaxed than in China . Teachers were called “sir ” or “miss”,everyone shouted answers and raised their hands in classes. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class.

    At break we bought potato chips and cookies in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China at 1 o’clock.We had big plates of pie with carrots. For dessert there was hot sweet rice called rice pudding.

    It was good that I’d had an excellent lunch, because at Kate’s school Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.

    I played my first game of netball— a bit like basketball, but with some differences. Luckily I’d had a quick look in the rule book before I tried to join in the game.

 Every year, over 40,000 secondary students in Britain run a business. "Each business runs for one 
year," said Ben,one of the group of students visiting Shanghai. "When we started our business, we 
borrowed money from parents and friends. At the end of the year,these people will receive some of the 
profits(利润) ."I asked Ben if running a business was difficult.He said that it was no problem. He said
that they always received a lot of advice from teachers and business people.
     Another member of the group,Regina,told me the four questions they always asked themselves.
The questions are:
      l. What do people want to buy?
     2. Where is a good place to sell the product?
     3. How is our product better than other products? 
     4. How much is the product?
     I was also very interested in how the group was organized.Regina said that there were usually about 
five to seven students in each business and among them were one manager and one accountant (会计).
I asked them who was the manager."I am,of course,"said Regina. "It was my idea to produce picture 
books,"she said. "They have been very popular with the other students." I also asked the students what 
other people sold. "Other groups in our school sell things like T-shirts, videos and computer games,"said 
Ben.
     "How much money do the businesses usually make?" I asked."Some businesses make;$20,000—$30,000  but most groups make a small profit of about $ 1,000一 $ 3,000," said Regina.I asked them what they did with the profits. "We can do what we like with the profits."However,Regina told me that it was important not to waste the money. She always told the other groups to give the money to charity.
     Most students enjoyed running a business and all the students said that they had learnt a lot.
