〜School Life〜
　Today I want to talk to about junior high school life: what its like for a junior high school student. Like last time, Japan and America are sometimes the same, but sometimes they're a little bit different. So, how are they different？Let's find out !
　One example is school clubs: club activities. What club are you in？ What sport do you like？ American schools and Japanese schools both have club activities, but what clubs do American schools have？ Let's find out !
　Like Japan, American schools have art clubs, and writing clubs. And same as Japan we have sports. Like basketball. Do you like basketball？ We have soccer. And we have volleyball, but American sports clubs are a little different; we have some different teams. For example we have American football. Do you know American football？ It’s very fun and very strong; it's a very fun sport. We have lacrosse. It's very difficult. Have you played lacrosse before？ We also have wrestling. Wrestling students are very strong. It's very exciting to watch. And we even have brass band club, like Japan! This is my brass band club in junior high school. This is me. I played percussion.
　Next are school events. School activities. In Japan you have many special school events like the sports festival, the volleyball festival, culture festival, and many more. American junior high schools also have a lot of school events. Are they different？ Are they the same？ Let's watch and find out!
　First, one big events are school dances. After school at nighttime, everyone comes to the school gym and they dance. It's very fun. Students dance with their friends and their teachers. And they can drink juice and eat snacks. It’s very fun. Do you like dancing？
　Next, we have days like pajama day. Students can go to school in their pajamas, or clothes they wear when they sleep. It's fun to see the fun designs and colors and it’s very fun.
　We also gave spirit day. It's usually before and big sports game. On spirit day we dress in our school colors my junior high school colors were blue and yellow. What are your school colors？ After we wear our school colors, we go to the gym and we chant and cheer and we listen and watch special performances like music or dancing, and it’s very fun. And certain days like Halloween we can even wear a costume. And we can go to school in our costumes and have fun with our teachers and classmates.
