I'm g________ to help you. We're best friends.
Have you ever wondered what PE classes are like in other countries? In China, PE tests are required to graduate from both middle school and high school. To get good grades on the PE tests, Chinese students will need to practice running as well as doing situps and pullups(引体向上). However, the way that PE classes work in US high schools is different.
In my high school, we are required to take two terms of PE to graduate. We play real sports during PE classes, such as basketball and volleyball. There are also some typical American sports that we often play, such as kickball and dodgeball.
I didn't know the rules of kickball and dodgeball when I first came to the US. The teacher allowed me to sit on the sidelines and watch how other students played them in order to let me find out the rules.
We can learn some useful life skills in PE classes as well. Last year, I learned how to do CPR(心肺复苏), which is a lifesaving skill. We were also taught how to provide first aid for someone who is badly hurt. These skills are a large part of the final grade for the PE classes in my high school. Selfdefense(自卫) is also taught in PE classes. This includes some tae kwon do(跆拳道) and karate(空手道)skills, as well as Chinese Kung fu. It is practical.
I prefer PE classes in the US to the ones in China. I think they are more fun and useful. What do you think?

My teacher said to a student, “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting(吹嘘) about how they sent text messages and never got caught.
“Kyle, you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks，” one of them said.
“Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught？” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason.
These two students might not get caught, but neither of them had good grades. They didn't pay any attention to the class, and I think they will keep doing this.
People don't just break big rules and get thrown into jail(监狱) overnight. They take it one step at a time. Kyle might have gotten caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break small rules.
