Today I went to Sam's school in the UK．It was different from my school in China．
The uniforms were a lot more suitlike．Girls wore gray skirts and white shirts，boys wore smart gray trousers，and everyone wore the school tie．
We arrived at 8：30am for registration，and lessons began at 9am．Like all 15 to16 yearolds in the UK，Sam is taking her GCSE （General Certificate of Secondary Education） exams this summer．Once you've completed these，you can choose whether to do two more years of school and take your"Alevel exams"，which you need to go to university； do a vocational qualification （职业资格）； or leave school and try to get a job．Everyone has to take GCSE English language，math （"maths"in the UK） and science．Because Sam wants to go to university to become a lawyer，she's doing nine GCSEs in total．She'll need to get top grades，the highest being an A．
Some of Sam's lessons were a bit strange for me．We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson，and there were all sorts of oldfashioned words like"thou"and"thee"to mean"you"．In history we studied 20th Century China．It was strange hearing a foreign side of history and hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names!
Classes were a lot smaller than in China； there were only between 15and 30students in each class!They were also a lot more relaxed．Male teachers were called"Sir"and female teachers"Miss"out of respect，but everyone shouted out answers and waved their hands in lessons．It was more like a debate than a class．A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone leapt up to go to the next class．
At break we bought crisps and biscuits in the canteen．Lunch was later than in China-at 1o'clock．We had big plates of"shepherd's pie"-minced meat topped with mashed potato-together with peas and carrots．For dessert there was hot sweet rice called"rice pudding"with jam in it．
It was good that I'd had a decent lunch，because at Sam's school，Monday afternoons are taken up with sport．I had my first introduction to the British game of netball-a bit like basketball．Luckily I'd had a quick look in the rulebook （规则手册） before I tried to join in the game．
