Blooming America
Chapter 3: Community issues
In any case, Catherine's middle school career has begun, and she has also moved to Lily's bedroom.
At first, Catherine thought that she could skip grades like elementary school, but at this time she really 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 tell how they should rule the entire country and set the final outcome.
Are you sure this is not the outline of the starting novel? !
—But it's cruel, this is the truth.
A report that requires at least 8 pages!
It's a pity, this is true, and it can't be true anymore.
In class, it is completely different from the classroom in elementary school and the classroom in China.
In class, seven or eight classmates sit around the table, and then the teacher sits in the middle of the class. Classes start at 8:30 every day, and then end at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Cheating father's homework is more than this.
The second problem Catherine encountered was to write a family tree within seven generations within a week.
Catherine's grandparents and grandparents passed away as early as World War II. How can I find this? But the teacher doesn’t care about this. If you want to get an A, you have to look for it, and if your grade falls to C, you have to accept extra tutoring. There are so many things Catherine has to do, so how can I take care of it? This one?
But it’s okay. Catherine called back, and Bruce and Emma mobilized. Although their parents have passed away, they are not without other relatives at home. Several long-distance calls went to Europe and sent a copy. After the information came back, I finally got all this stuff done.
Just two weeks before enrolling in school, Catherine suffered a "shut down", but fortunately, the troublesome homework was only these two. After the SAB school started, the homework became normal.
Before, Catherine heard that American homework is weird. It was very easy in elementary school and there was almost no homework. But now, she has seen American "divergent thinking".
Although this matter is over, there is another thing that makes her a little headache.
That is to join the club.
"Plus gymnastics club? I thought you would want me to go to the photography club?" Catherine was a little strange looking at a flyer that Lily handed to herself with a smile.
"Don't you want to leave your beautiful moment on the photo? And I don't know about other clubs. Chess club, Astronomy club, Literature club, to be honest, these are a headache for me. But I and I The relationship with the gymnastics club is the best."
It seems that the school clubs in the United States, Europe and Japan are all very different. In Catherine’s mind, it seems that the best middle school club is probably Japan, and the best university club is the United States. Sisters clubs and the like are all featured in movies. It. However, it seems that American middle school students are also very keen on club activities.
Catherine had watched movies describing the life of middle school students in the United States before, but in this "key middle school", the plot in the movie was almost invisible. Catherine didn't know whether it was because of the short time, or because of the school or whether it was. Movie Du compilation.
But one thing is very similar to the movie, and that is the American middle school, which is really troublesome.
"I can dance ballet, but I am not familiar with gymnastics."
"But I think you will like it."
Catherine rolled her eyes: "You really don't look like a traditional American."
"There are no traditional Americans at all, and my parents are British immigrants." Lily replied indifferently.
"Then you really don't look like an Englishman."
"This is the reason my parents emigrated."
Forget it... Just treat it for fun.
Can't stand Lily's repeated persuasion, Catherine finally chose the gymnastics club. Lily became excited all at once, and then took Catherine to take her to the gymnastics club to visit.
"Speaking of which, Lily, why do you like photography so much?"
On the way, Catherine asked suddenly.
"Although my father was a photographer, I had no interest in photography at all in the beginning, but later, I fell in love with Elvis, and then I wanted to be a photographer, and then I had a close relationship with Press Mr. Lee came into contact 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 they walked from the dormitory to the gymnastics club training place. The venue looks good and large, but there are only seven girls practicing here. It seems that the instructor is not there, it seems to be spontaneous.
"Hey! Bonnie!" Lily excitedly waved at 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. The tights and tights completely outline her curves.
"This is the Catherine I told you. Kate, her name is Bonnie. 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 lack of people in the school. After all, there are only more than 300 people in this school, but there are now more than a dozen clubs, and not everyone is interested in the club. In fact, if it were not for Lily's instigation, Catherine would not join the club.
But it’s hard to say. I have seen various societies on TV countless times. Catherine is very interested in this thing that seems to be popular abroad. It doesn’t matter if I experience it for a little bit, right?
Although Lily happily brought Catherine over to visit, because the instructor was not there, it might have to wait if 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.
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 be somewhat basic, 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 university, work, and live step by step like ordinary primary and middle school students. They will not have an impact on their cultural knowledge due to dance learning. On the contrary, because they have a skill, they become some people. Priority admissions to prestigious colleges and universities. The main actors of many top theater companies, such as the New York Ballet, learned this way. Many of them also have diplomas of other majors from prestigious American universities. Therefore, even these actors can choose another profession based on their expertise, such as construction engineers, lawyers, and even doctors, etc., when they end their dancing career.
