〜Schools in America〜
　American junior high schools and Japanese junior high schools sometimes are very similar, but sometimes they have small differences. For example: how we go to school. In America, sometimes your school is a little bit far from your house. So you have to ride on the school bus. But if your house is a little closer you can ride your bicycle. And if you're even closer, some students even walk to school. When I was in Junior high school I rode my bicycle. I liked it.
　This is my junior high school. It's very big. Its Vaca Pena middle school. Sometimes in America we don't say “junior high school”, we say “middle school” because *gestures* elementary school, high school, and then junior high is in the middle so we say “middle school.”
　When I get to school I have to go to my first class. I have to go to my classroom. But after my first class I have to go to a different classroom. In fact every class is in a different classroom. Even our schedule is different. In Japan, for example, on Monday: first period math, then history, then English, then science, the P.E, then art. And then on Tuesday: its different. Art, science, P.E, history, math and English, but in America, Monday to Friday, every day, the schedule is the same: Math, history, English, Science, P.E, Art. Every day its this schedule; same day, at the same time. But this schedule might change after 4 months. You might get a new class.
　These are American textbooks. They're very big. They're about this big and about this thick. They're very heavy. Because they're very heavy, we get lockers. Every students gets one locker. And they can put books or pencils or anything inside. In fact some people even decorate their lockers. They make it very beautiful. And they can make it their own unique style. It’s very fun. Now I have a special surprise. This is junior high school Zach. 7th grade Zach. This is me when I was in Junior high school. Same person. So this is American junior high school.
