Schools Around the World

What are we learning today?

You will read about schools in other places. You will compare them with your school.

Explanation

• Life in other countries can be different or similar.
• Paco is from Bogotá in Colombia. His school starts at 7.30 in the morning and finishes at 11.30.
• Paco eats arepas. They are little corn breads.
• Jin Yang goes to a special gymnastics school in Beijing. She does not live with her parents.
• To compare, use "but".

Examples

1. Paco's school starts at 7.30, but my school starts at 8.30.
2. Jin Yang lives in Beijing, but she doesn't live with her parents.
3. Paco's school starts earlier than my school.

Remember!

• Compare the facts. Do not only copy sentences.
• Not all schools are the same.
