Going to a British school for one year was a fantastic and exciting experience for me. A British school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. It means I could stay in bed for an extra hour.

On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect was to devote ourselves to study and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.

We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.

I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. Yet it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.

I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school playground or relaxed under a tree.

I felt very lucky to experience this different way of life. I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.
