  Jason Crole studies in an American high school.

As a native of London'the 16-year-old didn't 

know much about America^ colonial (殖民的) past before this summer.

  But now Crole can talk a lot 一一 about the settlers (殖民者) ,slavery (奴隶制) and the events that led up to the American Revolution (美国 独立战争) . He learned about these subjects at a summer program at the College of William' and Mary,Virginia.

  It is a 70-year-old program that gathers high school students from across the US to study early American history.

  “It has been great and a lot of hard work ,” said Crole. “This is not a subject really taught in England,so I'm learning a lot of new things."

  The program met from 8 am to 3pm five days a week. It went for three weeks. Students went to lectures and read essays about the period they were studying. They studied history from the founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution and the Civil War(美国内战) .

  As well as learning about histpry in the classroom,students also take field trips to historical sites. They visit Colonial Williamsburg,Jamestown and other sites around Virginia. They learned what life was like during that time.

  We hope the students can really learn something about our early history ,” said Carolyn Sparks Whittenburg,director of the program. “We offer the program to kids who love history. A total of111 students were in the program this summer,but we hope for more next year."
