TASK 1

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Watch the video entitled 'First Day of High School' in the video section on the Main Page or click on the title.

2. What differences can you find when you compare the school in the video with our own school.

3. Write a text comparing the American school and our school.


Essay:

I've seen the video "First Day of School" and there are many differences between the American school and our school.

My first impression was that it was much bigger than ours. There were a lot of pictures, and schedules on the walls too. I think they do different kind of activities because there was a girl signing a paper. There were also people eating and drinking in the halls; here someone would probably call your attention.

The cafe was also much more bigger than the one in our school: there were many tables and students sitting there. I saw far more lockers on the video than we have here. But i think it's normal, because the high school seemed to be bigger so they need more tables and lockers. I also had the impression that it was cleaner that ours.

Paying attention to the rooms you could see that they have many subjects like Marketing and Arts that we don't have here.

And the last differece, which I think is the most important one, were the cheerleaders. I'm glad we don't have that here
