Most children today go to a school where each class has its own room. It was different many years ago. Most children went to a one-room schoolhouse. In a one-room schoolhouse all the children learned in one room from the same teacher. A fourth grader might have sat next to a ninth grader. Possibly you have seen a one-room schoolhouse on a television program (节目).

There was a good reason for many of the one-room schoolhouses. They were often in the countryside, where there were only ten or twenty children going to school. Then one room was big enough for everyone! Today there are many more children going to school. The one-room schoolhouse has just about disappeared(消失).

In England, people don’t usually talk very much. You can go on a bus or in a train and everyone sits looking out of the window.

Often they read. They read books and newspapers. But they don’t talk much.
English people often talk about one thing — the weather. When you meet someone in England you can say, “Nice weather for the time of year!”
“But it was a little cold yesterday,” someone may answer.
“But it got a little warmer later,” you can say.
Talk like this, and the English will think, “How friendly you are!”
