School in Britain
For most students in Britain , the school day starts between eight thirty and nine o' clock. People travel to school using many different kinds of transport. They cycle , they walk and they come in cars . Sarah catches the school bus.
After two or three lessons there is a break. This is fifteen minutes when students go to out into the playground to have fun after all that concentration!
