　　There are over 800 boarding(寄宿)schools in the United Kingdom with students from home and foreign countries．Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country．But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only．Now, both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18．

What to do

　　In the United Kingdom, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, and there are about 13 weeks each term．Students study and live with one another．They need permission to go outside．In some schools, each student has his or her own schedule．Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other equipment for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theaters．Most boarding schools have a“lights out”time．So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the dormitories are turned off．Some senior teaching staff work as housemasters(舍监)．Each of them takes care of 50 students all the time, and especially after school hours．

　　Nearly all students at boarding schools in the United Kingdom wear a school uniform．Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse(罩衫), sometimes also a tie and a skirt．As students get older, the rules become less strict．

What to eat

　　In the United Kingdom, boarding schools provide students with delicious food．They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread with marmalade(柑橘酱)．They can also choose between a vegetarian meal and another meal at lunch and dinner．And there is always a salad buffet(自助餐), other side-dishes and a dessert．Many boarding dormitories also have a kitchen so students can make themselves something to eat at any time, or drink tea or have a snack between meals．

To Give up or Not to Give up as Class Monitor?

　　Dear Brad,

　　In about 3 months, I will take a very important test．If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the 10th grade and choose a good school to study in．Now I am trying my best to achieve this．At the same time, I’m the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class．①I am ________ so busy with my school-work and duties as monitor that I don’t have enough time to keep a balance between them．Gradually I become lazy．②The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance as class monitor．Her words really discouraged me．

　　What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as class monitor? I must do my best in school because how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life．Being class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me to be a good leader．③I don’t want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me．Can you tell me how to choose?

Yours,

Gates
