【题目】Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? Now let me describe a typical (典型的) high school and students in it.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students have to pay if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass the driver’s exam in their state, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven subjects. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose from Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes.
In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special subjects: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has his or her own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes to give the students time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports like football, basketball and baseball, different kinds of clubs, such as Yearbook Club, Speech Club, School Newspaper Club, Photography Club and a student government.
