大家好！我叫小雨，是一名中国初中生，今年十三岁。
Hi! I'm Xiaoyu, a Chinese middle-school student. I'm thirteen.
-
今天，我来介绍一下我在学校的一天。
Today I'll tell you about my school day.
-
我们学校每天早上七点二十上课，我一般七点就到学校了。
Our school starts class at 7:20 every morning. I usually arrive at 7:00.
-
上午有四节课，每节课四十五分钟。
There are four classes in the morning, forty-five minutes each.
-
到了中午十二点，我们去食堂吃午饭。食堂的菜有很多，我最喜欢吃西红柿炒鸡蛋。
At noon we eat lunch in the cafeteria. There are lots of dishes — I like tomato-and-egg best.
-
下午也有三节课，有时候是体育课，我们会在操场上跑步、打篮球。
Three classes in the afternoon too; sometimes PE — we run and play basketball on the playground.
-
下午五点放学。放学以后，我常常去社团。
School ends at 5:00. After school I often go to a club.
-
我参加了学校的篮球社团，会跟同学打一个小时的球，六点左右回家。
I'm in the basketball club; I play with classmates for about an hour and get home around 6:00.
-
回家以后，我先做作业，再看一会儿书。对了，我们每天都穿校服。
At home I do homework first, then read a bit. Oh — we wear school uniforms every day.
-
这就是我的一天。中国学校的生活，是不是跟美国很不一样呢？
That's my day. Is school life in China really different from America?

Three questions. Instant feedback, no scoreboard.
1. What time does Xiaoyu get to school in the morning?
She says 我一般七点就到学校了 — she usually arrives at 7:00. Class starts at 7:20 (七点二十上课), which is the tricky one to confuse.
2. Which order matches Xiaoyu's day from morning to evening?
Morning classes (上午有四节课) → lunch at 12 in the cafeteria (去食堂吃午饭) → afternoon classes with PE sometimes → school ends at 5:00 (下午五点放学) → basketball club (篮球社团) → homework at home (回家先做作业).
3. Which part of Xiaoyu's day would probably feel most different from YOUR school?
Cafeteria lunch, clubs and later dismissal all exist in the US too. But many American public middle schools don't wear uniforms every day — uniforms (校服) are a very normal part of Chinese school life. Not good or bad — just different. You'll talk about this next.
