ReadingWelcome to the unitToday we are going to look at schools in the United Kingdom. Please talk about each picture and try to work out if they are the same or different from schools in China.In the United KingdomIn ChinaHuge campus and low buildingsWe can see huge campus and low buildings in this picture. It is the biggest difference from schools in China.Schools in China usually have a large enough campus to make sure students have enough space to study and play in. But most school buildings are taller, at least three storeys.Lockers for every studentThere are rows of lockers by the classrooms for students to put their stationary, books, exercise-books and other belongings.Students bring what they need for lessons to school and then take it all back home after school. Most schools in China do not have the equipment in the classroom.Small class sizesThere are fewer students in a class, no more than 30 per class.There are usually more students in high school, perhaps 40 to 50 per class. Recently some schools are beginning to limit the number of students in each class.A lot of outdoor activitiesWhen classes are over in the afternoon, students take part in different outdoor activities, which makes their school life more interesting. They can enjoy nature, play ball games or do what else they like. They dont have to hurry home to do a lot of homework.It is similar in some urban schools in China. Nowadays, schools there lay emphasis on students overall development. They provide chances for their students and encourage them to do outdoor activities. Students are taught to keep a good balance between their study and the activities. However, in some schools, students are burdened with too much homework. They have no time to go out and relax after studying a whole day in the classroom.Lead inFast reading (see Part A)Further reading (see Part C1 and C2)Read the text carefully and choose the best answer to each question.1.What did Wei Hua do on her first school day?
