  Do you know something about tree rings(年輪)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

  A tree will grow well in a climate(氣候)with lots of sunshine and rainfall.And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings.For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside.If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year.If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.

  Maybe there are many differences between going to school in Britain and going to school in your country. In Britain school starts between 8:30 and 9:00 and finishes at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It is a long day but there are no lessons on Saturdays. Children usually have lunch at school. School meals are not very expensive and are quite good. But some children don't like them and bring sandwiches or go home.

  In Britain school holidays are different from those in other countries. They are shorter at Christmas and Easter but much longer in the summer. The school year starts in the first week in September and ends in the third or fourth week of July.

  Children start primary school when they are five years old; they stay there until they are eleven. Then they usually go to a secondary school. Children cannot leave. school before they are sixteen. At this age most students take public exams. Students who continue their studies go into the sixth form. If their school doesn't have a sixth form, they change schools or go to a college. Students need two years in the sixth form, and they take more public exams. In some parts of Britain, students go to middle school at the age of eight and then go to secondary schools when they are twelve or thirteen.
