Chinese school is different from English school. In China, school starts at 8 o'clock and finishes at 4 o'clock. In the UK, school starts at 9 o'clock and finishes at half past three. In China, students sit in lines and they do morning exercises every day. In the UK, students often sit around tables and they sing songs together every morning. But both students in China and in the UK can have fun at break time. And they do homework every day.

Mr. Brown says, “Thank you very much. I’d love to, but let me ask my wife first.” So Mr. Brown goes to the other room and telephones his wife. Then he comes back looking very worried.
“What’s the matter?” asks Mr. Jones. “Is your wife at home?”
“No,” answers Mr. Brown. “She isn’t there. My small son answered the telephone. I said to him, ‘Is your mother there, David?’ and he answered ‘No, she isn’t in the house.’ ‘Where is she?’ I asked, ‘She is somewhere outside’（在外面）. “What’s she doing? ‘She is looking for me.’”
