In Britain, children go to school from Monday to Friday. School usually starts nine o’clock in the morning and finishes at about three o’clock in the afternoon. Most schools ask their students to wear a school uniform.
School always starts with registration. What is registration? Every child going to school each morning and afternoon is recorded(记录) in a special book. The teacher reads out each child’s name in turn. On hearing his/her name, the child makes a reply(回复) and the teacher writes in the book. From the book, you can see whether(是否) the child is in school or not.
At 9:10, children go to the meeting place. There they sing songs, listen to a story and pray(祈祷).
The first lesson begins at 9:20. They have break time from 10:20 to 10:35. During break time, the children have a snack and play games outdoors. After that, they go back in for another lesson until lunch at 12:00. Afternoon lessons begin at 1:10 and end at 3:15, and children go home. They don’t have a break in the afternoon.

Have you ever noticed that you seem to learn faster in certain classes but slowly in others? Maybe you think it’s because of the different difficulties of subjects, but the real reason is that our learning types are different.
Now, you may wonder what a learning type is and how to find yours.
There are mainly three different learning types: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination(混合) of learning types, but most people have one main type. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, charts and videos, you are likely a visual learner. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, then you are likely an auditory learner.
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.
So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.
Tips for Visual Learners
＊Pay attention! For visual learners, this is very important! If yourteacher uses a PowerPoint, watch the pictures carefully and find out whatthey might include and their hiddenmeanings.
＊Take notes by drawing charts and connecting ideas instead of justcopying
down a list. This way, your brain will easily connect thedifferent concepts(概念). You can even draw pictures if you find that worksbetter foryou.
＊Mark your notes or your note cards in different colors. This will helpyour
brain in keeping all of the information separate. Different colorsshow different types of information orimportance.
＊Download the PowerPoint if your teacher puts it on QQ. This way, youcanreview them before anexam.
Tips for Auditory Learners
＊Again, pay attention! If you aren’t listening while the lecture ishappening, then as an auditory learner, you’re missing the easiest way for you tolearn.
＊If your teacher allows you to record the lecture, record it forfuture
listening.
＊If you find that taking notes stops you from listening, ask a friend ifyou can borrow his or her notes or write down everything you rememberright after thelesson.
Tips for Kinesthetic Learners
＊The first point is paying attention once again! For kinesthetic learners,it’s especially important to take notes either by writing or typing, in orderto actively get information as you receiveit.
＊Make use of laboratories and other class activities. Focus on whatyou’re
learning from the experience and pay close attention to the processthatyou gothrough.
＊Visualize! That is to imagine yourself picking up information and puttingit into a category(类别). This may sound silly, but in this way you’re“doing” something without actually physically doingit.
＊Rewrite notes and reread information. Try to translate the informationinto examples. This can help kinesthetic learners remember what they needto know.

Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍杆)? 
However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”.It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.
The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos.They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has — people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model conveniently provides you a welcoming arm.

Why is the sky blue?
In 1910, Einstein asked a question which many children often ask, “Why is the sky blue?” After his careful research, he answered the question like this: “It’s because light is made up of many colors including blue.

My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat.
