Many classes are divided into honorary classes and ordinary classes. The former is a good class in China, with greater content, progress and difficulty. Students with grades above B in junior high school can enter the honor class, which must be evaluated by junior high school teachers, applied by students and signed by parents. In other words, even students above B decide whether to attend the honor class or not. If a student studies liberal arts in university in the future, or wants to spend more time in other fields, he may not take honors classes in mathematics or chemistry. There are telephone numbers of consulting teachers, teachers in charge of various subjects and principals on the curriculum. You can call if you have any questions.

Different schools have different settings. In addition, in terms of history, American students study American history and world history, which is of course very different from China. Well, if you are interested, you can go to the bookstore to buy a basic survey of Britain and America and see what many English majors in China want to learn. Basically, it is about the geographical history of Britain and the United States, which should be helpful to you.
