If you ask any young English person where he would like to go for a day, he will say “A theme park, please!” So after the exams(考试), some English teachers take their students to a theme park like Alton Towers for the day. It’s a way of thanking the students for working hard.

  Every year, the students, aged 16 at Southside School, go to Alton Towers when they have done their GCSE exams. Let’s ask some students about their day at the park.

Peter: “I didn’t like getting up early. We must meet at school at six in the morning to get on the bus. The journey took 3 hours and we sang a lot of songs when we were on the bus, so it was fun. Then we had several hours at the park.”

  Sara: “I was afraid because some of the rides were too fast and high. But I did go on three rides. My best friend, Karen, had to sit down beside me. I could not go on the ride alone. ”

  Alan: “My cap flew away with the wind, so a kind man picked it up and gave it to me. I took some good pictures there. I felt really happy”

  Sue: “I went to the water ride four times and I was very wet(湿的).”
  Graham: “I went on the new ride with Jackie. She was afraid so she closed her eyes all the time. The water ride is the best.”

  Jane: “I love it all. And I want to go again, even if I have to go some more exams first! I wish the rides were faster!

Laura: “I felt excited the night before I went there. I got up very early that morning. I enjoyed every minute of it.”

Take a class at Dulangkou School, and you’ll see lots of things different from other schools, You can see the desks are not in rows（排）and students sit in groups. They put their desks together so they’re facing each other. How can they see the blackboard? There are three blackboards on the three walls of the classroom!

The school calls the new way of learning “Tuantuanzuo”, meaning sitting in groups. Wei Liying, a Junior 3 teacher, said it was to give students more chances to communicate.

Each group has five or six students, according to Wei, and they play different roles（角色）.There is a team leader who takes care of the whole group. There is a “study leader”who makes sure that everyone finishes their homework. And there is a discipline（纪律）leader who makes sure that nobody chats in class.

Wang Lin is a team leader. The 15-year-old said that having to deal with so many things was tiring.

“I just looked after my own business before,”said Wang. “But now I have to think about my five group members.”

But Wang has got used to it and can see the benefits（好处）now.

“I used to speak too little. But being a team leader means you have to talk a lot. You could even call me an excellent speaker today.”

Zhang Qi, 16, was weak in English. She used to get about 70 in English tests. But in a recent test, Zhang got a grade of more than 80.

“I rarely（很少） asked others when I had problems with my English tests. But now I can ask the team leader or study leader. They are really helpful.”
