Chinese Words for Life at School

Before we look up the Chinese words for life at school, let me tell you a terrible fact. In both Taiwan and China, students need to wear uniforms at school. Back in my high school life, we even have a hair ban which should be below your ear less than 3 cm. Every morning teachers will check our socks’ color and length. Make-up, hair wax, nail polish, earrings, and color-contact lens are all prohibited. Not to mention hair dye or perm is not allowed. You ask me why? Because as a student, your duty is to study not to be pretty.

In high school life, every day there was a test on various subjects during the early morning, followed by four classes each lasting about 50 minutes, and a 10-minute recess, sometimes 20 minutes. Lunch break lasts only an hour, and then the same pattern goes all the way to 5 pm. I know it sounds terrible, but I appreciated it a lot. Since you spent so much time with your friends, your high school friends are usually your best friends for your whole life.
