In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.‖ At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. ―I suppose I should criticize(批評(píng) )American schools,‖ he said. ―It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens.
