    American schools begin in September after a long summer vacation. There are two terms in a school year. The first term is from September to January, and the second is from February to June. Most American children go to public schools(公立学校). High school students take only four or five subjects at a time. They usually have the same classes every day, and they have an assignment(任务)for every class. After class they have many activities. After high school, many students go to college.
