1. Schools in Japan are special because they are very clean and well organised. Children start school in April and finish in March. Unlike in Vietnam, secondary schools in Japan last for 3 years, from grade 7 to grade 9.

3. There are many clubs at Japanese schools, from sports club like baseball and judo to creative clubs like manga drawing and music clubs. They help students to build skills and make new friends. Schools in Japan also hold festivals every year, where students perform on stage, serve food or create fun games for visitors.
