Now, there is a new-type school in New York, which has no everyday lessons, no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called “City-as-School”. Students just learn their lessons in the city. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work they are interested in. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a Mayor’s(市长) office helping with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends a week for first-year courses at college.
Well, students have to pass Maths and Science exams before they go into the “school”. These subjects are not easy to learn in “City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress of the students. About 80% of the students can go to college after the “City-as-School”.
The students won’t forget the duty of their work. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. Liz Martin, writes “I do not know where I will be right now if I never become part of City-as-School. Leaving the high school and then going to City-as-School is the best decision(决定)I make. The way is wonderful because the school let you go out there and learn different fields. If you are between “in school” and “dropping out”(退学), go to CAS and it will change your life forever.”

After a full week of working or studying, you must be too tired to get up early on Saturday morning. When you finally get up, you have already missed breakfast, but lunch is still a few hours away. So what do you do?

There was a wall full of different kinds of fresh and colourful flowers.The food and drinks also had this theme. They used rose petals (玫瑰花瓣)to make a pink rose latte more beautiful. This kind of drink is as sweet as it looked . For the main course(主菜), I chose the soft shell crab (软壳螃蟹).They put the crab in a bread bowl with some fried crab claws(蟹爪) on top.
The brunch tasted great. I was full after having such a big meal, but I still want to have another one.

If you want to study in a foreign country, you have to think about where to live. Because I'm still too young to rent a flat by myself. I am living with a homestay family in Canada and I feel like I'm part of the family.
I had a homestay in 2013 for the first time. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in Canada for a week with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and hisniece-in-law(侄子和侄媳妇).Carlton drove me to a school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our free time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. I couldn’t forget the life there although I didn't live there for a long time.

Once, my roommate went running and didn't come back for a long time. Mrs. Perger called him, but he didn't answer the phone. She began to worry about him and cry.

However, living with a homestay family also has some problems. when you live with a foreign family, you live a lifestyle different from your own family’s. It may take you a long time to get used to (习惯于)it.
Living with a homestay family teaches me how to communicate with different people and what we should do when different lifestyles and cultures meet together.

Biking is a popular form of exercise because it’s healthy and good for the air. Many cities are trying to make biking easier and more popular.
In the US, Bike to Work Day is held on May 20. This day is intended (旨在) to encourage more people to ride bikes. Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the world’s most bike-friendly city. During rush hour, traffic lights are always green for bikers. When it’s snowy, people clear the snow in bicycle lanes (车道) first. The car lanes come next. In Amsterdam, people can rent a bike almost anywhere in the city. You can always find bike rental companies near busy areas.
In China, we have bike-sharing companies. They give us easy access (使用的机会) to bikes. However, biking is not that easy in many Chinese cities. There are too many cars on the road. Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes. It is very dangerous.
【1】When is Bike to Work Day?_________________________________________________________

School always look the same---square buildings and rooms, rows of desks, and a teacher standing in the front. How can schools be better and different? What will future schools look like? Some schools have a new try. Let’s take a look.
Open & interactive (互动的)
With the internet, schools are no longer the place where students have lessons. “In the internet age, a school is social space to meet and learn from each other,” said Thomas, a British architect (建筑师). “It offers more chances to teachers and students to interact.” The school’s classrooms are all round. Students can sit around round tables and have a discussion when studying.
Creative & sporty
Some schools don’t have their playgrounds because they don’t have enough land. But this is not the case for a primary school in Hangzhou. The school is round, with a running track (跑道) on its roof. But students don’t have to worry about falling down from the building. steel fences (不锈钢栏杆) along the track are there to make students safe. The open track gives students a way to stay fit and makes them creative.
Closer to nature
Future schools should not be like factories, but gardens. There is a good example of such a “garden school.” Some of the buildings in this school are tall and some are short. And the roofs are covered with green grass. This makes the school look like hills. In the students’ eyes, there are big and small gardens in every part of the school. Sometimes they can have lessons among the beautiful flowers.
