Many students ask me how they can check their progress. I think a good way to see if you are learning well is to do a self-assessment(自我评价).

A self-assessment is often in the form of questions about what you have learned in this unit. By answering these questions, you can find out how you have learned. In this way, you can learn more about yourself and about your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know your strengths, you will be more confident; once you know your weaknesses, you can concentrate on(集中注意力) improving them. Many textbooks today have a self-assessment page at the end of each unit. It’s a good idea to do self-assessments regularly. You can do it at the end of the day or week, or after each unit. A self-assessment doesn’t take long. Once you do it regularly, you will find that it can really help you become a better learner.

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK 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 UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

What to wear                                                                            

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

       ⑤      

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.
