What does a typical day look like for a high school student in the United States? Well, everyone’s is very different. I can describe my normal day in high school for you.
Our school day went from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. However, some days I had cheerleading (啦啦队) practice or play practice at 6:30 am. If I had cheerleading practice I got ready at school, and if I had time, I ate breakfast at the school cafeteria.
Then I would head to my locker and grab my books for the first period. Each class went for about 50 minutes and we had 4 minutes to get to the next class. We studied everything from science to math and Spanish to PE.
I played the flute (长笛) in band, so one of my class periods was used for that. Lunchtime would be at 12:30 pm and afterwards we had some time to hang out outside or by our lockers. At the end of the day there was a seminar (研讨会) period. It could be used for studying or meetings.
After school, I would cheer at a basketball game, be a lifeguard (救生员) at work or have speech practice. My family always tried to have dinner together at around 7 pm, but there wasn’t always time. I would finally start studying at around 8 or 9 pm.
So there you have it! That’s my typical day in high school.
