My name is Li Lei. I’m fourteen. Though my daily life is very monotonous(单调的), I try hard to adapt(适应)myself to it. Why? Because I want to be a good student. I wish to render(给予)a service to my country.

I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. Then I have breakfast at 6:30. I go to school at 7:30. My class begins at 8:00 o’clock. These from 8:00 to 8:45, I have Chinese. And I have math from 8:55 to 9:40. It’s difficult. But the teacher says it’s useful. After the math class, we do eye exercises. The third class in the morning is English. I’m good at English. Then the next class is art or P.E. These are my favorite subjects. In the afternoon, I have two classes. Sometimes I have geography, and sometimes I have biology. Finally, we play basketball or play soccer for an hour. The school is over at 4:30.

After the school is over, I return home. I usually have supper at seven o’clock. Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.

One day during our holiday in England, my friend and I went to the train station to buy tickets to London. As native (本土的) speakers of English, we did not expect to have problems in English.

“Two tickets to London, please.” I said to the ticket seller

“Single?” the ticket seller asked me.

I thought that she couldn’t hear me clearly, “Two tickets to London!” I shouted.

At that moment a man helped us. He said that “a single ticket” in Britain doesn’t mean “one ticket”, it means “a one-way ticket”.

My experience in England taught me that there are some differences between British and American English. An Englishman may ask, “Would you like white coffee or white tea?” And an American asks, “Would you like your coffee or tea with milk?” We can find some differences such as the British saying “He’s in hospital”, but the American saying “He’s in the hospital”. Americans write words like color without the “u” of the English colour.
