Listen and find the missing words :


Schools in the United States are not by state or national governments but by the cities, so each school is different even if the school is in the same state so I will talk about my school. I am from Ohio and the city that I’m from in Ohio is Cincinnati, but in Cincinnati I live in a called Wyoming.
So, my school was run by the Wyoming government and there are elementary schools which is , first, second, and third grade. There is a which is fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade. And there’s which is ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade. But in America, we call those grades , , junior and senior.

So in high school, school starts at 8:00. Every class is 50 minutes long, there are 5 minutes in between each class and there is 30 minutes for lunch and school ends at 3:00. Every student has their own of classes but each is the same for every student and it is the same every single day of the week. So every day is exactly the same and every student is always in class because their schedules are always full. Every 50 minutes you have class.
The biggest difference I find is that there are many more activities in American schools. An extracurricular activity is something done of just studying and taking classes. So, almost every single student stays after their classes are done and they do sports. In my high school the sports are….the biggest sports were football, , soccer, volleyball, cross country and . If you are not on a sport, you might do . There were many many plays done at my school, and a done every year. Or there are other clubs such as the school newspaper, which was very popular, student government, environmental club, and the Gay Straight Alliance.

When I was a student, I was on the team, I played the for the orchestra, I was a member of the club, and I played violin the for all of the high school musicals. So students in America are very busy and school life is very important to many teenagers and the school itself is very busy. Sometimes I would be at my school until 10:00 at night being busy with different things and then you go home and have to get your homework done.
