【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 s.A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about l, 500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes.

When they turn 16 years old, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver39。s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies.

There is a fiveminute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in afterschool activities. These activities include sportsespecially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.________ in an American high schoolOutlinesDetailsIntroductionIt gives an overview of a typical American high school and its________.Lockers and textbooksEvery student has a locker for textbooks and ________ clothes.They prefer loaning textbooks to ________ them.________ transportStudents usually go to school by bus or on foot.
