Passage 9

学霸导读 校园生活总是令人憧憬,让我们跟着芬兰学生安娜看看国外的校园生活吧!

“Moi, Sof ia!” “Terve, Aleksi!” That’s “hello” in Finland. And that’s how students and staff g 1 each other at this Finnish school. Students call their teachers by their f irst names. Anna Hansson has gone to this school since f irst grade, so she knows everybody. Anna shouts “Moi” to her schoolmates as she arrives at 7: 45 in the morning.

At her school, Anna and her classmates d 2 , along with their teacher, what their weekly aims, tasks, and activities will be. Students work at their own pace. They don’t always study together. Some may be in their home classroom. Others might be in a workshop, where they’re learning by actually doing. Today, Anna’s group is working on a magazine in the workshop.

Anna and her classmates don’t learn by memorizing facts. I 3 , they work together to gather information. They ask their teacher for help whenever they need to. The class is active and busy, but the teacher is in full control and doesn’t have to tell students how to behave. Parents are welcome at the school and volunteer in workshops and evening classes.

After 90 minutes, students have a break for 30 minutes. Soon, it’s lunchtime! In Anna’s school, students get free hot m 4 every day. Today’s lunch is everybody’s favorite—meatballs and mashed potatoes ( 土豆泥 ). It is served with salad, bread and milk on the tables with f lowers in vases.

Chores have always been part of the school life. All students do chores, which i 5 taking care of plants, collecting trash, recycling, and composting ( 施肥 ). Students help in the library and in the kitchen.

School is o 6 between 12 at noon and 2 in the afternoon. Most parents work, so city off icials have built outdoor playgrounds and two buildings for younger students to do homework or play indoor games while waiting to be picked up. For o 7 students, there are clubs and hobby groups.
