Each year, many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or family honor. But life can be bad for young people there. At first, they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服). To best children, controlling (管理) themselves well is a big challenge when studying alone in strange country. Yu Yang, a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto, Canada. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom push students to study abroad. And usually there isn"t too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do the activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year"s money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money. On the one hand, studying abroad can help students learn foreign languages quickly and en up their eyes, but on the other hand, some children may feel lonely, become bad, lose themselves, etc. Many problems may happen to them. These are different from their original thoughts. So parents should think them over before their children go abroad. | ||

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. 64 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. | ||
