School life in America is different from that in China. American students usually get to school at around 8:30 in the morning. School starts at 9:00. They put their school bags in their lockers and only take a book, a notebook and a pen to each class. In class, American students can sit in their seats when they answer their teachers' questions. They often ask lots of questions in class. At around 12:00 students have lunch. American students don't go home for lunch. They have it at school. Most students like chicken, hot dogs or hamburgers. At one o'clock in the afternoon, they begin to have classes. Their classes are usually over at 3 p.m. Then they join school clubs or play sports. They go home at about 4:30 p.m.
