Hi guys, it’s Kitty in Canada and welcome to the Article of this week.
Today we have another special guest with us. He came here when he was in grade 6 and now is in grade 9 which is the first year of high school. In Canada, middle and high school are quite different so let’s see how he feels about High school!
Hello! I am Jeremy, as Kitty mentioned I am currently attending my first year of high school, Grade 9. The middle school schedules are similar to the school schedule in China, but high school is very different.
The schedule is divided into 2 semesters with January 30th as the transition day between the 2 semesters. The classes in each of the semesters are the same, that means I have to go to the same classes every day. For example, this semester I have Social Studies, Science, Math, Music/Art, and Language Arts, I have these classes in this exact order every day.
The biggest difference I feel like there is between middle and high school is the number of people. From the staff to the students to even the number of classrooms. There are about 110 classrooms and around 2200 students. Fun fact: Fredericton High School was once the biggest school in the entire British Commonwealth! With over 4000 students.
Even though we have a homeroom period at the beginning of the day, it is very short. After homeroom, we all head off to different classes with different students. Each class is 62 minutes, Lunch is 60 minutes. We also have 2 breaks, the morning break is 15 minutes and the afternoon break is 10 minutes. It is also important to note that there is no break between classes, but a 5 minute time for transition and that about it for the schedules of a Canadian high school.
After school, the school provides clubs, sports teams, and other extracurricular activities such as bands, drama productions, and leadership groups. There is homework almost every day but I usually finish them in half an hour.
Thanks, Jeremy. If you still want to know more about High school in Canada we will keep going next time and I will see you guys then!
大家好，这里是 Kitty in Canada , 欢迎来到 Article of the week 。
今天我又邀请到一位客人，他上6年级时来到了加拿大，现在上9年级 ,也就是高中的第一年。
在加拿大，高中和初中有很大的不同， 让我们来听听他对高中生活的感受吧。
大家好，我是Jeremy，现在正在读九年级（高中一年级）。
在加拿大，初中课程的作息时间跟中国差不多，但高中的作息时间却完全不同。
高中的课程作息时间，以每年的一月三十号为界分成上、下两个学期。两个学期的课程设置是不一样的，但任何一个学期内的每一天的课都是一样的。
比如说：这学期我第一节课是社会科学，第二节是科学，第三节是数学，第四节是音乐/美术， 最后是英语语言文学。也就是说，整整一个学期我每天上的课程都是按照这个顺序，是完全一样的课程。是不是有点千篇一律，缺乏变化？
我觉得初中和高中最大的区别是学校内的人数，从学生人数到员工人数到教室数都比初中要多的多。我上的高中叫弗莱高中，大概有110间教室和2200学生。
一个有趣的事就是：弗莱高中曾经是整个英联邦最大的高中，当时一共有4000多学生。
我们每天都有一节homeroom课，这节课非常短。
Homeroom以后，我们会跟不同的同学上不同的课。每节课是62分钟，午餐时间是60分钟。我们还有两段课间休息时间，上午有15分钟，下午有10分钟。每节课中间没有课间休息时间，只有5分钟的换课时间。
放学以后，学校内有各种俱乐部、体育队和其他课后活动比如乐队、话剧团和学生代表团。通常每天都有作业，但最多半小时也就做完了。
谢谢Jeremy。如果你还想了解加拿大的高中生活，我们下次会继续这个话题。
再见 !
common school vocabulary/ 学校里会经常听到的词
Language Art- 英语
This word is very common because the English class is not called English but called Language Art in school. Language Art is the fancy version of the word English class. It’s very easy to understand why it’s called that name if you know what the word ‘language’ and ‘Art’ means, It’s like you know this language, but you have to make it sounds nice and beautiful just like a beautiful painting. In other words, The art of a certain language.
这个词在学校很常 见 ,因为在学校里英语课叫Language Art , 不叫English。Language Art 是一个很奇妙的叫法。如果你知道 ‘Language’ 和 ‘Art’ 是什么意思的话 , 这个词就很容易理解了，比如说你知道一门语言是不够的，要把他说的有美感才行。换种说法就是一门语言的艺术 。
