I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 41 in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to 42 . Although we lived “in”, 43 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The 44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 45 class. The new ones always went wild 46 , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like _47 ; never did we have to 48_ “ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t 49 one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 51__ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 52 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different sizes of storerooms---small ones 53 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 54 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take 55__ . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s 56 .
57_ I think I am a 58 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big ___59 between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of 60 .
