Many foreign students are interested in knowing what a typical(典型的)school day is like in an English school, Here is an introduction.
At our school, school begins at 8:55am. The duty teacher blows a whistle(哨子)and the children line up with their class groups. They wait quietly for the teacher to send them to their classrooms.
The first lesson of the day begins at 9:30 am. Our morning lessons are usually English and mathematics. Each of these lessons lasts for an hour.
The children have their morning break from 10:30 am to 10:45 am. Our children bring a snack from home to eat on the playgrounds. We now have an hour and fifteen minutes before lunch time. The first fifteen minutes may be spent giving the children their weekly spelling test. The children will then have an English or math lessons before lunch time.
Lunch time is from 12 noon to 1:10 pm. Most children bring their lunch from home. Some children will have a cooked school dinner. While the children are waiting to have their lunch or after they have finished eating, they play games on the playgrounds or attend lunch time clubs. We have Midday Supervisors(指导者)who look after the children during lunch time. Teachers are also on hand to help out and supervise. They take it in turns to be on duty during lunch time.
After lunch time, lessons resume with reading activities. This could be the whole class quietly reading or the children doing some reading in groups. The rest of the afternoon is spent learning one or two of other school subjects.
