Hello! I’m Rick. I’m an American boy, but now I’m in China. And I’m studying in my new school now. The subjects in China are different from those in the USA. We have some new subjects, like science and computer. I don’t think they’re boring and I like them a lot. My favorite subject is computer. I can use the computer to write emails to my parents and friends. It is really great.
After school, there are lots of clubs for students to join. I like singing and playing the guitar. So I join the music club. I go there after school on Monday and Wednesday. I also love sports. I join the sports club and play ball games there on Thursday.
I like the school life in China, but there are too many strict rules for us. We have to wear the uniform on school on school days. We can’t eat food or listen to music in the classroom. We can’t keep hair long, even girls. Sometimes I can’t understand some of the rules, but I think they are good for us.

Nancy is a girl from the UK. She is studying in Dalian now. She loves shopping with her family on weekends. Nancy thinks supermarkets in the UK are different from those in China.
Many big supermarkets are self-service (自选的) in the UK. When you go to a supermarket, you can take a basket or a handcart(篮子或手推车) and put the things you want to buy in it. You need to wait in line at the cash desk(收银台) and pay for things before you leave. When you are waiting to pay in the supermarket, it’s important to wait your turn.
But in China, there are some salesmen or saleswomen around you. When you are buying things, they show their things to you. Sometimes it helps a lot but sometimes it doesn’t. When you are paying, you don’t have to wait at the cash desk. You can pay by Alipay or Wechat at special machines (特别的机器). Nancy says it’s very convenient (方便的).

When you are in England, you must be very careful (小心) in the streets because cars drive on the left. Before you cross a street, you must look to the right first and then to the left. If the traffic lights are red, the cars must stop, then the people on foot can cross the road carefully. If the lights are green, the cars can go on, and people on foot must not cross.
