At first I couldn’t believe it! There were no ___1___ in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to ___2___. Although we all lived in? ___3___ made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no no lights out?
The ___4___ thing was that practically all the students went to class, ___5___ very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or ___6___ class. The new ones always went wild ___7___, but this never lasted long. The ___8___ took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like ___9___; never did we have to ___10___ “stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don’t ___11___ one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in ___12___ school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)! For example, in botany(植物学) we had ___13___ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we ___14___ two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. ___15___ in winter we each studied a few ___16___ things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms ---small ones ___17___, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a ___18___ time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, ___19___ the angles(角度) and so on. I didn’t take ___20___. I can’t stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s ___21___!
___22___ I think I am a ___23___ person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better. That’s probably a real big ___24___ between the free school and regular school ---the amount of ___25___.
