Would you like to experience what going to  school was like in the late 1800s? To start with, imagine everyone in school  sharing only one classroom.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most  American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would  typically (典型地)have students in the first through eighth  grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from six to 40 or  more.The youngest children sat in the front,while the oldest students sat in the  back.The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and  geography. Students memorized (记忆)and retold their  lessons.

The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse  probably looked much like your own. The teacher's desk stood on a raised  platform (讲台)at the front of the room, however, and  there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating.The  bathroom was outside in an outhouse.

In Honeoye Falls , New York , there is a one-room schoolhouse  where kids today can experience what it was like to be students in the late 19th  century.For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn  the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

What else has changed about school since the  19th cen?tury? For more information, please visit our website : www • locallegacy. com.

After this special meeting, I always thought  about this kind of holiday. Last month, I had a chance at last to go on such a  holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London, a place where I had  wanted lo go since years ago.

As we were still young, we had a group  leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to I/melon,  we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family was a  white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of  iheir family during my stay there.They were interested in me and I learnt a lot  of things from them, too.

The holiday was filled with activities every  day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we  would have classes or go on a sight-seeing trip to different places of interest  like the Big Ben, the London Bridge,and the Buckingham Palace.We would go back  to our own homes after the activities.
