1. Prediction:
American students take part in different activities at recess. The energetic students often play basketball, but they never have time to play a whole game. They just practice scoring goals. That is called "shooting some hoops". Many of the students listen to music. They usually have portable CD players with small earphones. Sometimes they read or study at the same time.
Some of the children, mainly boys, swap baseball cards. These pictures of baseball players come in packets of candy. They swap cards with their friends, so they can get the ones they want.
Eating and talking with friends are the most common ways of relaxing at recess. These activities are the same all over the world.
