Hi, I’m Abby. I’m very lucky to be here. My parents work on a large sheep farm in central Australia. During my summer vacation, I helped my parents and brother move some sheep. One day the bike I was on hit a rock (撞到一块石头) and (1)我摔了下来把头撞了。Nobody saw it happen, so I quickly got back on the bike and kept working.

The next day I had a headache(头痛), but I thought it was just because of the sun. Later I was fine. But two weeks later, I got a really bad headache. By the evening, it was worse. At first my family laughed at me and said I was pretending (假装) to be ill. But when my mom touched me, she knew it was true.

Dad looked at my eyes and asked, "Did you hit your head these days?"

"No, "I replied .But then I remembered the fall."I fell off the bike, but that was weeks ago, "I told him.

"Could it be a concussion(脑震荡)? Let’s call the doctor, "said my mom.

(2)That’s the last thing I could remember.

Thank goodness for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Just an hour after my mom talked to the doctor, a plane arrived. The doctor said I was seriously ill. They put me on the plane and took me to the hospital. I had an operation(手术) in the hospital and stayed there for a week. Everyone said if it wasn’t for the Flying Doctor, I would lose my life.

American schools are quite different from those in China.In America,at the beginning of the term,students must select their subjects and teachers first.

Selecting is very important for your marks in America.So at the first term,don’t select too many subjects,or you’ll feel very nervous and tired.Then you have to ask for some teaching plans.There is some information about subjects,time arranging,marks and textbooks.At the same time,you must choose the teachers.Different teachers have different teaching methods.If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade,many students will give up choosing him,because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework,too many exams and give too low grades.There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers.How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard.The textbooks in America are very expensive.Each one is about $30-$50.In order to save money,many students buy some used textbooks,and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
