《2025年金版新学案高中英语选择性必修第二册》

版本融合 纵横贯通
Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!
The British school day commonly① begins around 9 a. m. and ends around 4 p. m. Every secondary school student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In year ten, students usually have to learn nine subjects and they can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business.
The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough② for me to remember everyone's name!
I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging③. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable④ because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution⑤ because sometimes I wasn't able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement⑥. My language skills improved over time.
