My experience in the United States

I went to Los Angeles in the United States in the school trip. We visited a local school on the second day. Then I attended the class of mathematics and Japanese with my Buddy. And, I noticed the difference of the class of Japan and the United States.

The first difference is that there is no homeroom. Students attend the class of all subjects in each classroom from the beginning and are waiting for the students to come. In this, Japan is completely opposite.

Next, the appearance of the class is also different. The chance to make remarks by raising my hand decreased after having entered the high school. Because I am not confident whether my answer is correct and I think that answering by raising my hand is troublesome. However, in the United States, all students answered the question positively raising their hands.

These differences might be the influences of eagerness to attending the class. Compared with the appearance of Japan, the United States receives the impression of positively attending the class. I think that we should learn from the United States and renew the heart to learn.

This trip was a good chance to review my school life.
