I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in Vietnam.One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look. In my country, all the students should wear uniforms when they go to school. Boys arent allowed to have long hair. Girls arent allowed to have long or colored nails(指甲).Another difference is about the rules for parents. In Vietnam, when we begin a new school year, our parents have to go to a meeting in our class. If they dont go to that meeting, their children wont have a grade or a report card from school. However, in the US, there arent such strict rules above.In Vietnam, a class is only 45 minutes and we have only five classes each weekday. When the bell rings, the students just sit in their own classroom. They cant move to a different one, but students can in the US.In Vietnam, students cant go to work because they cant find a job if theyre under18. But in the US, many students work after school. This helps them make money. More importantly, this helps them become more independent. Theyre able to do things by themselves in their own way, without asking other people for help.（1）Where does the writer come from? A . ChinaB . JapanC . AmericaD . Vietnam（2）What are the girl students allowed to do in the writers country? A . To keep their hair long.B . To have long nails.C . To color their hair.D .
