2-- Oh sure. In Mongolia, we don’t have elementary school, secondary school, or high school divided into three parts, but we have from 1st grade until 12th grade in one school so we don’t really call them like high school or secondary school or elementary school. And for the high school, like, from the 8th grade until 12th grade, well, they study what other students study in different countries but nowadays they are focusing on more, like, English studies or different language studies.
 
1-- How long is a typical class? Do you have, let’s say, six classes a day, each class is one hour?
 
2-- We start school at 8:00 in the morning until 1:00 in the [after] noon and we have about six classes a day. Each class has like 45 minutes. So we finish at 1:00.
 
1-- And then, what do you do in the afternoon?
 
2-- We go back.
 
1-- You go home?
 
2-- Yes, ‘cause in Mongolia we have two parts. In the morning, the high school students go to the school and from 1:30 the elementary school students go to the school so we share one class [between] two classes.
 
1-- Oh, so you split the school?
 
2-- Yes.
 
1-- So do teachers sometimes have to teach both levels?
 
2-- Yes.
 
1-- Wow! That’s tough.
 
2-- Yeah.
 
1-- So when you go home, do you usually...do have family there waiting or do usually both parents work?
 
2-- In Mongolia, the mother and father they usually work and when I finish my school I just go back and make my own food, because in Mongolia mothers’ work is not to, like, stay at home or do housework. Kids are taught to clean up the home and cook their food and wash their clothes and that’s your work and usually the mothers don’t do that kind of thing.
 
1-- Oh, so the children have to do all that work?
 
2-- Yes.
 
1-- Actually it’s quite similar I think in the US pretty much. So what about your study load? Do you have a really heavy study load? Like, do you have two hours of homework a night or...?
 
2-- It really depends on the school but for me, like, I was studying in an international school so I had to study quite hard to get the level still. So for me, I studied after school...I’d rather study at night, so I studied like 3 or 4 hours at night. So that’s my study habit.
 
1-- That’s a lot.
 
2-- Not really compared to other students.

1-- Heidi,你来自蒙古，能讲讲蒙古的高中是什么样子啊？
2--好啊，在蒙古，我们不是把学校分成小学，初中，高中三个部分。我们一个学校就是一年级到十二年级，因此我们的学校不叫小学，初中或者高中。比如像高中，从八年级到12年级，学生学习不同国家学生学习的东西。现在学生的关注点更多了，比如英语学习以及不同语言的学习。
1-- 典型的一节课要多久呢？若有，比如一天六节课，每节课是一个小时吗？
2--我们早上8点上课到下午1点，一天大约六节课。每节课就45分钟。所以1点钟放学。
1-- 那么下文你们做什么呢？
2-- 我们回家。
1-- 你们回家？
2-- 是的。因为在蒙古我们有两部分，高中生早上去学校，1;30的时候，小学生上学。因此，班级是共享的。
1--哦，你们把学校分成了两部分。
2-- 是的。
1--因此老师有时候教两个阶段的学生？
2--是的。
1-- 哇，太难了。
2--恩。
1-- 回家你通常有家人在等你还是父母不在家你要做家务活呢？
2--在蒙古，爸爸妈妈通常要外出工作。我放学回家就做自己的饭。蒙古的妈妈们的工作不是待在家里做家务活哦。小孩子从小就被教育打扫卫生，做饭和洗衣服。那是你的工作，妈妈们不替你做那些事的。
1--哦，小孩子所有的家务活都要做？
2--是的。
1--实际上，和美国很相似。你的学习任务怎样呢?学习负担重吗？比如说一个晚上要做两小时的家庭作业或者...？
2--这取决于学校而不是我。比如，我就读于一所国际学校，我必须努力取得相应的水平。就我而言，放学后还是要学习，我喜欢晚上学习，晚上要学习3到4个小时。这是我的学习习惯。
1--太多了啊。
2--和其他学生比比真不多哦。
