Dear, American friend
Hello! My name is Hyukjae and I am a first-year student at Sangsan High School. I think it’ll be tough to remember my name, so just call me Jay, my english name. From now on, I’m going to talk about my life as a student in South Korea and my wonders about your school life
I live in the school dormitory, and a loud alarm clock rings every day at 6:30. Of course, we can sleep more in the weekend, but I usually get up early. I wonder when you wake up and start your day. Around 7 a.m., I go to the school cafeteria and eat my breakfast. Then, I usually go to the school at 7:30 to prepare class and study. Classes start in 8:10 a.m. and we participate 4 classes, 50 minutes for each. How about your school? In lunch time, we wait our homeroom class’s order, and eat lunch at the school cafeteria. After lunch, we attend 4 more classes until 5:10 p.m., and we eat our dinner. We can go outside and eat at restaurants, but I prefer to eat school meals (because my school is on a slope - I’m too lazy to go up and down). Then, at 6:30, we have “extra study time” until 11:20 p.m. We study and review what we have learned, for the midterm or final exam.
I am curious if American students study really hard for the two exams as Koreans do, because SAT and ACT are the main paths to university in the U.S. In Korea, there are two main paths to university, which are “Soo shi” (going to university by your high school grade) and “Jung shi” (going to university by taking a big test called “Soo neung”). A great number of Korean students, especially students of Sangsan High school, prefer “Soo shi” than “Jung shi” because “Jung shi” has a big risk of failing to get a good grade, so they study really really hard until they suffer with bloody noses.
We don’t know anything each other, and our relationship may just pass by, but I wish we could keep in contact. XD I’m so curious about your school life. I can’t wait to get your reply!
Sincerely, Jay
p.s.
Have you ever heard about South Korea? I wonder if American students ‘really’ like BTS or Blackpink and whether you are a big fan of K-POP. If you aren’t, I recommend listening to their music if you’re interested in my country.
