Carole’s Cooking Journal

Monday, April 6

This month, we had to choose an optional activity. Should it really be called “optional” if you have to do it? Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to sign up. Many of the activities were already full, but I made a decision to join the Cooking Club because at least that way I would get a snack to eat.

Tuesday, April 7

It was the first time to be here. Like many of my ideas, joining the Cooking Club made sense at first but was turning out to be a disaster. Most people have been in the club for more than a year, so they already know what they’re doing. And since they all know each other, they weren’t exactly interested in a newcomer.

What a terrible day! How could I know that if a recipe says to beat cookie batter (糊), you couldn’t do it with your fists (拳头)? I thought the other kids would never stop laughing. And it was not easy to get cookie batter off your clothes.

Friday, April 10

I have more funny things in Cooking Club. Now I know that chocolate mousse is a dessert and it isn’t spelled m-o-o-s-e. “Mousse” and “Moose” (驼鹿) sound exactly the same. So I don’t think my question about whether vegetarians(素食者) can eat chocolate mousse was really that silly.

Monday, April 13

One of my bright ideas worked out for a change! Everyone laughed when I handed out the chocolate “moose” cookie that I made yesterday, but this time I was laughing, too. The peanut butter antlers(鹿角) were a huge hit. We’re even planning to bake more cookies for the school food festival next week.

At last, the mid-term exams are over. You’ve done the hard work, but you can’t relax. You have to prepare for the next exams. Do you hate exams? If you do, you’re not alone. Students in other countries hate them as well.

Luckily for them, British students have fewer exams than Chinese students. And they only have them once a year. Every summer they take a test in each subject. Each test lasts about an hour. These exams don’t count for much. Even if a student does really badly they still progress to the next year. When the results come out they are then placed in an end-of-year report. The report is sent to the child’s parents. It describes how the student studied at school.

This report is private(秘密), so only the teacher, the student and his or her parents see it. This means that the students don’t know how other students scored(得分) in the test. Some students choose to tell each other, but others keep it secret.

Parents’ meetings are held twice a year, at the end of the winter term and then at the end of the summer term. Children go along with their parents to meet their teachers privately and discuss their performance at school.
