In English, the spelling of words does not always represent(代表)the sound. And some words seem to have too many letters. An American called Noah Webster wanted to do something for the development of English, so he began his work on it.

In fact, Webster is famous for his American Dictionary of the English Language. This dictionary came out in 1828 after it was completed. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation, use and the new spelling. Today, Webster's dictionary is still widely used in English-speaking countries.

The Japanese school system(体系) is different from the rest of the world.
Most schools have a three—term system with new school years starting every April. There are six grades in the elementary school (小学). Japan has one of the longest school days in the world. Even after the school ends, children still have other homework to keep them busy.
School holidays are six weeks long during the summer break and about two weeks long in whether the winter or the spring break.
Every class has its own classroom. During elementary education, in most cases, one teaches all of the subjects in each class. The number of the students in one class is usually under 40.
Here are some interesting facts about Japanese school: Nearly all junior high schools require their students to wear school uniforms. Most students in Japan really feel happy in school; students spend 205 minutes on language class and 165 minutes on science class every week (in other countries, 215 and 200 minute). But they spend more time on maths class—235 minutes every week (in other countries, 218 minutes).

The American cowboy was a great hero through facts and stories.
In history, the real cowboy was a simple farm worker on horseback. The work was dirty, tiring and not paid very well. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night, When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to keep the animals calm and overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated, so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. Country Western music became popular first among cowboys in the American west countryside.
The cowboy quickly received popularity. Historians say that this was because the cowboy appeared during a time of change in American life. The cowboy seemed free and more independent than other Americans.
At present, the life of real cowboys has changed greatly. There is no need for the modern cowboys to sleep on the ground. Modern cowboys are paid well and are found in almost every state of the United States. Most modern cowboys do not make much money from raising cattle(牛). Many do it because they love the cowboy life.

Overwork is one of the main reasons why so many students feel tired and stressed. There are some ways for you to learn to relax. Such as reducing（减少）some of the jobs you do each day.
