你還記得10歲的時候自己在學什么嗎？最近，名為““希望與恐懼”的研究中心研究了全世界6個不同城市公立學校幼兒園四年級的課表——結果大吃一驚！原來世界各地10歲小孩的學習經歷大相徑庭！“希望與恐懼”研究中心研究了美國紐約、英國倫敦、日本東京、中國香港、南非約翰內斯堡和俄羅斯莫斯科10歲小孩都在干嗎，想知道？一起來看看吧！

　　1.Math

　　1、數學

　　In London, New York, and Johannasburg students are expected to understand how to solve basic equations, add, subtract, multiply, divide, and understand three dimensional objects. Schools in Moscow have integrated computer science into elementary school experiences to keep students ahead of the curve, Japanese students in Tokyo are learning to measure angles, and in Hong Kong 10-year-olds are starting to understand linear equations.

　　倫敦、紐約和約翰內斯堡的學生要學會如何解決基本的方程式，加、減、乘、除，還要了解三維物體。莫斯科的學校把計算機科學整合到小學課程中，好讓學生走在前沿，在東京的日本學生要學習測量角度，而在香港，十歲的孩子們則要開始學習線性方程。

　　2.Reading And Writing

　　2、閱讀和寫作

　　Reading and writing curriculums vary widely in the six different represented countries, unlike math curriculums which aren't drastically different. In New York and Hong Kong, students are learning to read and write within themed language arts classes like and learning to identify with and understand characters. In London, there's more emphasis on technical aspects like vocabulary, grammar, and developing cursive.

　　閱讀和寫作課程在6個不同的國家中差異明顯，不像數學差別不是很大。在紐約和香港，學生們要在一些主題語言藝術等課程中學習閱讀和寫字，還要學習識別和理解詞性。在倫敦，閱讀和寫作課程更加注重詞匯、語法和強化字體等應用技能方面。

　　3.Science

　　3、科學

　　Science curriculums in most of these cities mostly boil down to basic biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and astrology. 10-year-olds in Johannesburg also learn the importance of recycling for the environment and students in London begin to learn about basic anatomy and physiology.

　　在這些城市中，大部分城市的科學課程可以歸結為基礎生物學、化學、物理學、地質學和占星學幾類。約翰內斯堡10歲的孩子也要意識到循環利用對環境的重要性，而倫敦的學生則要開始掌握基礎解剖學和生理學。

　　4.Other Important Topics

　　4、其他重要的學科

　　Each country has important side topics emphasized in their curriculums. In the United States, it's instilling curiosity in students about current events and how to understand them. In Tokyo, there's an emphasis on foreign language, while London's emphasis is Geography. While Hong Kong doesn't focus on a brand new topic per se, Chinese curriculums tend to emphasis homework intensely and teach students why its so important for homework to be integrated with schoolwork.

　　每個國家在其課表中都設有重要的副學科。在美國，著重培養學生對時事的好奇心，教他們怎樣去認清這些事。在東京，主要偏重外語，而倫敦則偏重地理。可是香港并不會每個學期都將注意力放在一個全新的課程本身，中國的課程表尤其注重家庭作業，并且教學生了解為何將家庭作業與學校作業相結合十分重要。
