My Experience in a Free School

　　At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 2 . Athough we all lived“in”, 3 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no“lights out”.

　　The 4 thing was that practically all the students went to class, 5 very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or missed class. The new ones always went wild 6 , but this never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 7 ; never did we have to 8 “stand up”,“sit down”,“speak out”.I don't 9 one student who didn't try his beat.

　　The subjects were the same as those in 10 school, but what a difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 11 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 12 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 13 think about what we had grown. In maths the students built three different kinds of storerooms—small ones 14 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 15 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, figuring out the angles(角度) and so on. I didn't take 16 . I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 17 !

　　So I think I am a 18 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 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20 .

Living in a foreign country is fun but it isn’t always easy. There are many differences between cultures and although some of these differences are unimportant, some can cause a lot of embarrassment. In addition to the obvious language problems of living in a foreign country, I certainly experienced culture shock when I was living in Paris. I know I’m not the only one so I spoke to a few foreign friends about how they experienced culture shock in China.

   Aubin arrived two months ago from Europe to take part in a language programme in Shanghai. Before he left, he was actually taught the differences between European and Chinese Cultures, including everything from table manners to classroom behavior. However, some things have still taken him by surprise. For example, he couldn’t understand why waiters did not want to accept the tips he gave them after meals in restaurants. He said that in Europe waiters got angry if you didn’t leave them a tip! I had to explain to him that people don’t usually tip in China and that this comes from the Confucian idea that one must avoid accepting any undue income.

   Another friend, Julia, came to Guangzhou from London to teach at a language school. After a month, she told me that she was really let down by her students. I asked her why and she told me that they were so quiet that she was the only person talking in class and it felt like the children were being respectful but she said it would be more respectful if they answered her questions. I think we should be proud of the Chinese tradition that stresses politeness but I do think Julia has a good point.

   And it is not only the West and the East that have cultural differences. Even Korea and China, two countries that are very close to each other, have differences too. “I thought Chinese and Korean people were the same,” said my friend Ji-Hyun in perfect Chinese, “but I was wrong . In ancient times the Chinese used to take their shoes off. They don’t do that any more, but Korean people still do! I keep getting that wrong even though I’ve been here for five years!”

   Luckily, whether we take our shoes off or not, or leave unnecessary tips, the world still runs perfectly. In my opinion, cultural differences should simply be seen as a way of making life interesting. Imagine how boring it would be if we all did everything exactly the same way! Learning to understand and respect differences is, after all, what life is all about.
