I was lucky to have a chance to spend one year in a British high school. It was a

very   61   (enjoy) and exciting experience  62  me.

School starts around 9 a.m. and  63  (end) about 3:30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour 64  (late) than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m. I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my former school, but it was a bit    65   (challenge) for me at first   66   all the homework was in English. I spent an hour every day    67   (read) English books in the library so my English improved a lot. Students can stop studying subjects if they don’t like them. They can choose other    68    (subject) like Art, Computer Science or Languages. I attended the Art class where I made a small sculpture.   69   it didn’t look very beautiful when it was finished, I still   70   (like) it very much.

I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. I really hope that someday I can go back and study in Manchester again.
