What are PE lessons like in your country?

John, 16, UK | At my school, sports can be very relaxing. We don't have to go to a 40-minute class each week. Instead, we get to pick when we want to play sports. Also, the most great thing is that there are a great number of sports to choose from, so everyone can find something they enjoy. We can take lessons in swimming, rock climbing and dancing along with ones in soccer, netball (女子无挡板篮球) and badminton. We don't have exams for sports. |
Tim, 15, US | In my school, every afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00 is PE time. In PE classes, students usually just do practice, like running or weight lifting in the sports center. However, people in the US love sports a lot. Sports team training is another way of PE. Every school has sports teams, for example, American football, baseball, basketball, tennis, and much more. All the teams compete in different leagues (联盟). In order to get a better place, every team has their training plans, but they usually train until 5 p. m. every day. Some students can become team managers to help the coach in team training. |
