the bus to

apart from each other.
20. I have one break
during the day,
called lunch.
Usually, this is at
11:00 AM.
It is very important where you sit.
You can’t sit with people you
don’t know.
21. Because schools are very big, you don’t know
everyone.
So every year, we get a
book called a yearbook.
Everyone’s face is in it.
22. In America, we play sports after school.
And it’s free.
You don’t play for a club, like
in Spain. You play for your
school.
24. But the girls’ teams are much, much better.
They win many championships in
soccer and in basketball.
25. I play tennis. I play tennis for
2 hours a day. And I train 6
days per week.

This is normal in America.

sometimes win awards!

graduation, when I was
17.

Many people eat fast food every single

We also have school dances, like Prom.
