Back to School
Children are going back to school in Japan and in the U.S., but it’s a little different in each country. In Japan, children are in the middle of the school year. They are going back to the same class in the same school. They already have everything they need. In the U.S., children are starting a new school year. They are going back to school, but they may be in different schools, and they will be in different classes. There are no uniforms in most American schools, so the children need new clothes. Many also need new schoolbags. They usually use backpacks, but most backpacks only last a couple of years. Of course, they will need school supplies like pencils and notebooks, and some will buy new lunchboxes. It’s the time of year for back-to-school sales!
