Lesson 7
E-mails from Abroad

Topic 1 An E-mail from the U.S.A.

Mira has a key pal, Mike, in U.S.A. Mira lives in Suwon.
She wrote to Mike about her classes. This is Mike's response.

How are you? Thank you for your e-mail about your classes in Korean middle school. You take more classes that we do. American students take about seven subjects a semester: English, math, science, social studies, music, art and physical education.
The first semester starts in August and finished in December. The second semester starts in January and finishes in May. Therefore, we have a long three month summer vacation. But we don't have a winter vacation. In winter, we only have Christmas Holidays.
We have only one study period. In the afternoon, we play sports or do other activities. We take part in clubs or in study groups. I like playing soccer and belong to my school team. Our team will have a game with our neighboring school this weekend. I'm sure we will win the game. I'll let you know how it goes.
Your friend,
Mike

Topic 2 An E-mail from a British Student

Insu has a key pal, Susan, in Britain. Insu lives in Seoul. He wrote to Susan about his school life. This is Susan's response.

How have you been? Thank you for your e-mail about your school life in Korea.
We also have a lot of homework. Our weekly homework is a matter of school policy. Our homework is set in some subjects. I usually spend from thirty minutes to one hour working on it. It's often too much for me to finish.
We have a merit card system. Teachers may reward any praiseworthy action or work with an entry in our merit card. When any student fills up his/her merit card, he/she will be rewarded. Something we do "acts of service." This means picking up litter or repairing broken furniture.
Also, we should always wear a school uniform and we can't use bad language. We should not make too much noise in class or fight. I think our school has too many rules.
How about in your country? Please let me know about that in your next message. Take care.
Your friend,
Susan
