Schools in the USA are a little different from those in China. Usually, there is no school uniform(校服) in the USA. In many Chinese schools, students have school uniforms. Classes start at 8: 30 each morning and the school day ends(结束) at 3: 30 or 4: 00 in the afternoon in the USA. In China, classes usually start at 8: 00 in the morning and the school day ends at 5: 30 in the afternoon. Students have one hour for lunch and two 20⁃minute breaks(休息) each day in the USA. One break is in the morning, and the other is in the afternoon. In China, students have two hours for lunch and a 10⁃minute break after each class. In the USA, students often go to the school cafeteria(食堂) at lunchtime or at a break. They buy food and drinks there. But in China, students often play games on the playground or have a break in the classroom after lunch or at a break.
