U5 R&R: Differences in School Life
Write an article in [Japanese] comparing school life in Australia and Japan. The article should
be suitable for publishing in a school magazine. (400ji)
Hi everyone! Today, shall we talk about the differences between Australian and Japanese
high schools?
Firstly, did you know that in Japan, they have a separate middle and senior high school?
It’s unlike here, where we stay in one high school for 6 years. If your friends went to separate
high schools, it’d probably be hard to stay in contact.
Also, Japanese students have three school terms from April to March of the following
year. Japanese schools have two mid-term exams and three end of term exams! I think so
many exams would make me cry from the stress! We only have two big exams in 4 terms, so
I’m glad.
Anyways, please remember that keeping clean is a part of Japanese culture. We keep our
shoes on but Japanese students change from their outside shoes to indoor shoes.
Japanese students also get a break between every period, just like us. I thought other
schools in Australia did too but surprisingly they don’t get the breaks like we do.
Japanese students also stay in the same classroom for the entire day unlike us Australian
students, where both teachers and students change classrooms. I wish that our school did that.
I think that Japanese schools are very fascinating and I definitely would like to try them for
myself. What about you?
オーストラリアと日本の学校違い
みなさん、こにちは！今日オーストラリアと本の学校大き違いつて教えましょうか。
まず、日本の学校は中と高が別だ言う事を知っていすか。オーストラリアハイクル 6 年とは違います。友達が別の高校に入ったら、連絡を取り合くでしょう
そして、日本の学校期は 4 月から翌年 3 月までの 3 学期です。中間試験が二つと末三ありまそんなに多かったらストレ泣いてしうょ！オーラリアは４だけ、よ
とにかく、清潔を保つ事は日本の文化だいうこ覚えておさ。で校舎入っ靴脱上履きそしません
日本の学生も私たちと同じように休み時間があります。オーストラリアでは他校る思っていし、驚くべきこせん
その上、教室を変えるオーストラリア学生と違って日本は一中同じにいます。（私たち校もうしくれらでが）
日本の学校はとても魅力的だ思うで、経験しみたいす！
みなさんはどう思いますか。
