They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie theaters) or watch a video at home. Many people jog, bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports. |

Do you obey the rules in your school? What do you think of your school rules? Are you allowed to dye hair? A lot of school rules are similar around the world, but some are different.

In some countries, students are not allowed to have part-time jobs because they may not concentrate on their studies.
American schools have their own rules. For example, in Morton High School, students are not allowed to choose their own clothes. They must get to school or leave school on time. Food or drinks or snacks shouldn’t be taken into the classroom. They must wear sports shoes in gym class. They are supposed to keep quiet in the school bus.
