 My name is Phat, an exchange student. Here I am in America. My host family lives in Tucson, Arizona. I’m 
attending high school, seeing the country and studying lots of different subjects. As you know, I love 
athletics, so I’m doing some serious running, as the school sports facilities here are excellent. I’m also 
learning how to play baseball and American football. 
 I’m finding the high school environment very relaxed and quite different from school back home: no 
uniform, not many rules, and you can even eat and drink in class. We start school at 8 am and finish at 3 pm, 
so we have lots of time for sports and other activities. We take eight subjects in the semester and have one 
lesson in each subject every day. I can choose seven of the subjects myself – the only compulsory one is 
American history.
