Now,I'm studying in the US.I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in Vietnam.
One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look.In my country,all the students should wear uniforms when they go to school.Boys aren't allowed to have long hair.Girls aren't allowed to have long or colored nails(指甲).
Another difference is about the rules for parents.In Vietnam,when we begin a new school year,our parents have to go to a meeting in our class.If they don't go to that meeting,their children won't have a grade or a report card from school.However,in the US,there aren't such strict rules above.
In Vietnam,a class is only 45minutes and we have only five classes each weekday.When the bell rings,the students just sit in their own classroom.They can't move to a different one,but students can in the US.In Vietnam,students can't go to work because they can't find a job if they're
under18.But in the US,many students work after school.This helps them make money.More importantly,this helps them become more independent.They're able to do things by themselves in their own way,withoutasking other people for help.

Each year there are at least five million people around the world who develop serious(流感) and almost half a million deaths ,When someone we know gets the flu virus (病毒),we expect them to be very careful not to pass it on to other. Doctors and nurses working with flu patients also need to protect themselves from the virus ,But what is the best way to do this? This is the question that Professor Jonathan Van﹣Tam is trying to answer. He wants to find out how flu is transmitted(传播),so that he can stop doctors and nurses getting sick.
Since 2008 Van Tam has been in charge of an Intentional group studying how the flu virus travels. For the first time, 41 volunteer agreed to live together. They lived in a clinic(诊所)in Cambridgeshire for two weeks, where they came into contact with the flu virus.
Van﹣Tam explains their methods. "Everyone lives together in the small space for four days.Some wear face masks, and wash hands every 15 minutes, but some have no protection.
In his way we can study who catches he flu and which ways of transmitting flu are important."
The experiment(试验) is not simple. At the moment the team are working on three studies.

In many countries around the world,May 1 stis a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers' Day.It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs.But do you know how it started?
During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world.people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories,but made very little money.Later,in the United States and Canada,working people got together to set up unions(工会).The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries(工资),but many of the bosses ▲.
On May 1 st,1886,men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets.They walked through cities and towns to forcebosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago,several people died in fighting with the police.Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1 stto honor workers everywhere.
