Question

Unlike in China, single-gender（单性别的）schools are popular in Australia. Many parents, including mine, send their children to single-gender schools. I study in a girls' school in Melbourne.

One of the good things is that students are treated equally in such schools. There are still many stereotypes（偏见）about girls, like "girls are not as smart as boys" or "girls cannot play sports like boys.”

Since we study in a girls' school, teachers always encourage us to realize our dreams. They want us to be ourselves, regardless of（不管）our gender.

For example, in coeducational（男女合校的）schools, most girls are not allowed to play soccer and other sports are seen as "boys' stuff." But at my school, we play soccer under the instruction of professional coaches. Those who do well have the chance to enter the state team. That means girls can get the same chances as boys. So we are able to jump out of those stereotypes.

Still, there is a big problem for students of single-gender schools-they are less likely to interact（互动）well with the other gender. However, it is necessary to improve their ability. After all, they will one day graduate and go into the bigger world. Then they may face some challenges in relationships. But some schools have realized this. So they organize some activities for boys and girls to meet. Take my school for example. We recently just had a dance party with boys. It was great!
