In Singapore, many school students spend a lot of time on their studies. People always think that good schooling(学业) is the key to success(成功). So, many of these students try their best to get good grades in their tests. They have a lot of homework every day and tests are usually a big problem to them. Sometimes, a few students even have to go to evening classes after school because of the pressure(压力) of the tests.

Students have many after-school activities to do at school, such as sports games, dance groups, swimming and rock-climbing. On weekends, they have enough time to do what they like. Most students like to listen to pop music. Hollywood films, Hong Kong and Singapore films are very popular, too. Some of them also spend free time surfing the Internet, e-mailing their friends, playing computer games. They sometimes go to cafes, fast food restaurants, shopping centers and big bookstores. They also join in community service(社区服务).

Each of them was taking lessons-Joe with a famous art teacher,and Delia with a great pianist from Germany.They were the best teachers,so lessons were expensive,more than they could really afford,but …when you love your art,nothing's too much.

we'll still have money from the man in Vermont,won't we?"
Joe looked at her."There's no man in Vermont,"he said."I haven't sold any paintings.I've been working in a drugstore (药店),and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who'd burned her hand.So when I saw you-well,I guessed."
They both laughed."So we've told each other lies,"said Joe."But when you love your art..,"
