Her School Journey (旅途)

Eleven-year-old Emily Jones lives on an island ( 岛 ) in the Orkneys. Emily's island is very small and there are only thirty people living there, Emily enjoys her life on the island.

She often goes fishing and swimming. But what about school?

Emily can see her school from her garden. It’s a few kilometers ( 千 米 ) away. The problem is that the building is on a different island and the journey is very long. She travels by bike, by bus and by ship to get there.

Like other children, Emily goes to school five days a week. She can take the ship every day in summer, and from Monday to Saturday in winter. The ship is small and only has space for twenty passengers ( 乘 客 ). Sometimes, Emily is the only passenger, but the workers in the ship are friendly and Emily likes them.

Sometimes, the weather is bad and Emily gets to school late. The teachers understand this and never get angry with her. Classes like sport and music are never the first ones on a school day. She usually has maths, and the teachers often give her extra (额外的) help at lunchtime.

Sometimes the weather is fine in the morning, but then it’s bad in the afternoon. When this happens, Emily doesn’t go home. She sleeps at a friend’s house.
