The class in America is almost the same as that in China．But something is different．
1．In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it．If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know．Then he or she knows what you need to learn．
2．You mustn’t be absent on a test day．If you’re seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test．If your teacher allows make-up test, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school．
3．Be on time!It is impossible to be late．If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly．Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room．Then go to your seat and sit down quietly．In the US, you needn’t knock before you come into the classroom．
4．If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too．There is no need to ask for the teacher’s agreement(同意)．

Students learn their lessons in class．In class teachers teach them．Students sit in the classroom listening to the teacher．This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn something?Of course not．There is another way to learn．That is students can teach themselves．For example, if you cannot remember something when you are doing homework, you can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．And it is not a difficult thing．We can do this at any place and at any time．
