ENGLISH 6 level My Educational Experience BY Alvarenga Nolberto I n general my educational experience in Honduras has been different from my experience in the United States. First of all, in Honduras the annual schedule starts in February and ends in December. Second, the daily schedule starts at 8:00 am until 3:00 pm. Third, in my country we only use textbooks, because we do not have any access to the Internet. Also, sometimes we are not able to buy all the necessary supplies, because of the economic situations. In the United States, the annual schedule starts in September and goes until June, and the daily schedule is from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Finally, in the USA, we have access to the Internet and a lot of different kinds technology, such as computers, cell phones and projectors, which make it easy for us to study. On the other hand, there are some similarities in both countries. 38 IN OUR OWN WORDS First, we have to walk to school, or take the bus. Second, the environment of the class is excellent in both countries, although we do not have enough supplies and technologies in our country. Also the amount of students in each classroom is between 20 - 30 students in both countries. In conclusion, with my educational experience, I clearly understand that it does not matter the situations, the ways and the materials that we use to study. In this case what matters is the desire to learn, or to be a successful student.
