There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
___________________
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
What to eat
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

All boys and girls like good stories. I am sure that all children who read The Ugly Duckling will be glad to know something about the ‘King of Story Tellers’, who wrote it for them. Thousands and thousands of children have read this story, only to ask for it again and again. It has travelled the wide world over, and has been told in every country.
Hans Christian Andersen, the author of “The Ugly Duckling,” was born in Denmark. If you look on a map, you will see this little country in northern Europe. There, in the little village of Odense, he spent his boyhood. His father and mother were very poor. The family lived in two little rooms near the top of a house, where his father worked as a shoemaker.
On the roof was a box filled with earth. In this box his mother planted her vegetables. Little Hans loved to walk with his father in the woods, where he could pick wild flowers and hear the birds sing. His father read to him when his work was done, or told him stories. What his father did helped him open up a new world.
Once, when Hans was still a child, he went into a wheat field with his mother and a number of children, to pick the rest wheat which the reapers(收割机) had left in the field. While they were busy picking only a small amount of wheat for each of them, an angry bailiff(看守者) came rushing into the field, armed with a whip(鞭子). All ran, as fast as they could, away from the angry man. Little Hans was barefoot, and the sharp stalks(茎秆) of the wheat plants which had been cut down, cut his feet so that he could not get away.
Unafraid, the boy faced the angry man and his upraised whip. “How dare you hit me when you know God sees you?” he cried, looking fearlessly into the face of the angry bailiff. The whip came down, but not on little Hans. The bailiff admired the boy’s courage, and praised him for it. He sent him home with gifts, rather than punishments.
While Hans was still a boy, his kind father died. Then Hans and his mother were left alone, to care for each other.
“What will you do, Hans?” the mother asked “Would you like to become a tailor?”
“No, mother,” the boy answered; “I will go to Copenhagen and study. One day I shall write books.”
“But where will the money be found to pay your way?” asked the mother.
“I will work, and God will take care of me,” Hans replied.
So the boy left his native village and walked all the way to Copenhagen, which was very far.
