In any case, Catherine's middle school career has begun, and she has moved to Lily's dormitory.

At first, Catherine thought she could keep skipping grades just like in elementary school, but then she truly realized the difference in American education.

In the first history class, the teacher asked them to write a report, and the content of the report was to imagine that they were a dictator, and then describe how they would rule the entire country and set the final outcome.

Are you sure this isn't the outline of a novel?!

——But it is very cruel, this is the fact.

A report requires at least 8 pages!

It's a pity that this is true, and it couldn't be truer.

During class, it is completely different from primary school classes and Chinese classes.

In the classroom, 7 or 8 students sit around the table, and the teacher sits in the middle to teach. Class starts at 8:30 every day and ends at 2:30 in the afternoon.

This is not the only cheating job.

The second problem Catherine encountered was to write a family tree covering seven generations in one week.

Catherine's grandparents had already passed away during World War II. How to find out? But the teacher didn't care about this. If you want to get an A, you have to find it, and if the grade drops to a C, you have to accept it.

With extra academic tutoring, Catherine has a lot to do. How can she have time to take care of this?

But this is okay. Catherine made a phone call back, and Bruce and Emma mobilized. Although their parents had passed away, there were not no other relatives at home. They made several long-distance calls to Europe, and then sent a copy

After I got the information back, I finally got all this stuff done.

In the first two weeks of school, Catherine encountered a "disgrace", but fortunately, these two troublesome homeworks were the only ones. After the sab semester started, the homework became normal.

In the past, Catherine had heard that homework in the United States was weird and weird. In elementary school, it was extremely easy and there was almost no homework. But now, she has seen the "divergent thinking" of Americans.

Although this matter was over, there was still one thing that gave her a headache.

That is to join a club.

"Join the gymnastics club? I thought you were going to ask me to join the photography club?" Catherine felt a little strange when she looked at the flyer Lily handed to her with a smile.

"Don't you want to keep your beautiful moments in the photos? And I don't know about the other clubs. Chess club, astronomy club, literature club, to be honest, these make me have a headache. But I and I

The relationship in the gymnastics club is the best.”

It seems that school clubs in the United States, Europe and Japan are all pretty good. In Catherine's mind, it seems that the best clubs in middle schools are probably in Japan, and the best clubs in universities are probably in the United States. Sororities and the like have all been made into movies.

Well. But it seems that American middle school students are also very keen on club activities.

Catherine had seen movies depicting the lives of American middle school students before, but in this "key middle school", the plot in the movie was almost invisible. Catherine didn't know whether it was because the time was too short, or because of the school or because of the school.

Movie Du Zuan.

But one thing is very similar to the movie, that is, American middle schools are really troublesome places.

"I can dance ballet, but I'm not familiar with gymnastics."

"But I think you might like it."

Catherine rolled her eyes: "You don't look like a traditional American."

"There are no traditional Americans at all, and my parents are British immigrants." Lily answered indifferently.

"Then you really don't look like an Englishman."

"This was the reason my parents immigrated."

Forget it...just think of it as fun.

Unable to resist Lily's repeated persuasion, Catherine finally chose the gymnastics club. Lily suddenly became excited, and then pulled Catherine to take her to visit the gymnastics club.

"Speaking of which, Lily, why do you like photography so much?"

Halfway through, Catherine suddenly asked.

"Although my father is a photographer, I had no interest in photography at all at first. But later, I fell in love with Elvis Presley, and then I wanted to be a photographer, and then get up close and personal with Presley.

I contacted Mr. Lee and even became his full-time photographer. But then, somehow, I fell in love with using a camera to record all the beautiful things I could see. I suddenly discovered that photography is such a beautiful thing~"

The two walked for about ten minutes before walking from the dormitory to the gymnastics club training place. The venue looked nice and big, but there were only seven girls practicing here, and it seemed that the instructor was not there either.

It seems to be spontaneous.

"Hey! Bonnie!" Lily waved excitedly towards the girl who seemed to be the leader.

"Lily!" The girl came over.

Although this girl named Bonnie is not pretty, she seems to have a good body. Her tights and pantyhose completely outline her curves.

"This is the Catherine Kate I'm telling you about. Her name is Bonnie and she is the president of the gymnastics club."

"Hello, Catherine."

"Hello, just call me Kate."

The number of people in the gymnastics club is very small, which probably has something to do with the small number of people in the school. After all, the school only has a total of more than 300 people, but there are now more than a dozen clubs, and not everyone is interested in the club. In fact

, if not for Lily's instigation, Catherine would not have joined this society.

But it's hard to tell. She has seen various clubs on TV countless times. Catherine is very interested in this thing that seems to be very popular abroad. It probably doesn't matter if she has a little experience, right?

Although Lily excitedly brought Catherine over to visit, because the instructor was away, she probably had to wait until she wanted to join, so Catherine sat next to them and watched them practice, while Lily picked up the camera and then

The flash kept flashing until the entire roll of film was used up, and then it gave up.

Catherine looked at them. To be honest, although this gymnastics looks a little different from ballet, it doesn't seem to be too difficult. These people seem to have some basic skills, but they are not too professional.

In the United States, it is very common to learn dance from an early age, but people go to college, work, and live step by step like ordinary primary and secondary school students. They will not have an impact on their cultural knowledge by learning dance. On the contrary, because they have a skill, they will become some

Priority for admission to prestigious colleges and universities. The main actors of many top theater companies such as the New York Ballet were trained in this way. Many of them also have diplomas in other majors from prestigious American universities. Therefore, even if these actors finish their studies

During their dancing career, they can also choose another career based on their expertise, such as construction engineers, lawyers or even doctors, etc.
