Some people may think thatstudents who study abroad have more time for fun and less homework. But in fact, Grade 12 studentsin Canada are just as busy as students in China. In Canada, students have to work hard to all the tests and homework. To relax oneself from the important courses, like math and English, students will often choose one or two elective courses in the last year of high school. They are usually easier and have more fun.
Take me as an example —- I chose an interesting course, cooking and health. This course is to help students develop a healthy lifestyle and diet. The biggest fun of this course is thatstudents can experience cooking. I believethisis the reason why there're a large number of students on the waiting list. Usually,there are one ortwo food labs every month. Teachers always let students decide what they want to cook. Students are divided into four groups with six people,and we enjoy the cooking time a lot.
After attending this class for more than three months, I believe it's not as easy as others think it isbecause it requires basicknowledge of science, life skills and practice.
Some peoplemight think they are just for fun and don'tneedto be taken seriously. But I believe it is a great way to get relaxed from the other heavy schoolwork and I do learn a lot from those electivecourses.
