At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 41 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to . Although we all lived “in”, made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The thing was that practically all the students went to class, very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this never lasted long. The took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like ; never did we have to “stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don't one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)!For example, in botany(植物学) we had classes in the spring or fall, but instead we two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few things about what we had grown. In math, the students built three different kinds of storerooms - small ones, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, figuring out(计算出) the angles(角度) and so on. I didn't take . I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's !
On the whole, I think I am a person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 59 between the free school and regular school-the amount of .
