So, "the third year in high school" (Para. 1) equals "the eleventh grade" (Para. 9).
2. What American teachers wear in school:
Nowadays, people in the U.S. love to dress casually. Even among those companies with a rigid dress code some now allow employees not to wear suits on Fridays. U.S. teachers wear fairly formal clothes to school, but not necessarily suits and ties. Bow ties are considered even more oldfashioned than ties.

Do you like English writing? Why or why not?
What is the purpose of writing?
Look at the title and find out in which paragraph a similar phrase appears, then explain in your own words what the author mean by “write for myself.”
Main idea :
Baker was bored by everything associated with English courses, including his new teacher.
More in detail : Para 1
Baker’s idea of _b_e_c_o_m_in_g__a_w_r_i_te_r_ took hold in his _th_i_rd__y_e_a_r in high school. Until then , he’d been bored by _e_v_e_ry_t_h_in_g__a_ss_o_c_ia_t_e_d__w_it_h_, _E_n_g_li_sh__c_o_ur_s_e_s, including _e_s_sa_y__w_r_it_in_g_.
3. Spaghetti and the proper way of eating it:
Spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cooked by boiling and served with sauce. Usually you would put a fork into a plate of spaghetti, turn the fork several times so that spaghetti will wind around the fork, then place the fork into your mouth. It's impolite to suck.
• Q2: When did Baker stop writing about his new experience?
• By this way, please divide the text into three parts.
