The English expression for "start school".
The first thing we need to know is that we can't translate it as open school according to the literal word "open school", because open school is a very Chinese expression, just a simple expression that the school has opened its doors.
Of course, we can't take it for granted that it means school opens, because it has another meaning.
01、school opens
In this expression, open does not mean "opening school", but "open to the public", referring to the campus open day, this phenomenon is also very common in our country, usually well-known colleges and universities send out notices to inform the public of the time of the campus open day, so that they can visit.
Of course, in addition to school opens, it can also be used to mean open house, which also means "open to the public" or "open to visitors", let's take a look at its English interpretation:
Here's an example:
it's always open house at their place.
Their premises are open to the public at all times.

02. The English expression of "starting school".
So having said all this, what exactly is the English of "starting school"? The "beginning of school" often represents the beginning of a new semester, and it is fitting to use the term "first day".
So, the simplest and less error-prone expression isthe first day of school, let's look at an example sentence:
Here's an example:
also，to the year of the first day of school……
It's ...... the first day of school again
If you think the expression The First Day of School is too simple and not advanced enough, you can still use itnew semester/term begins/startsIn this context, both semester and term have the meaning of "semester", so this term can indicate the beginning of a new semester, which means "the beginning of school", let's look at its English interpretation:
Here's an example:
as the new semester begins, we meet each other again.
Now that school is in school, we meet again.
the new term starts at the beginning of september.

The begins starts here can also be replaced with kick off, which originally originated from a football game, which means kick-off, serve, and means the beginning of a ball game; Therefore, kick off can be extended to "...Beginning" means, expressing "commencing" you can say:the new semester kicks off.
However, there is also a difference between semester and term, semester applies to the United States, and refers to the fact that the academic year is divided into two semesters, namely spring and fall semesters;
The term applies to the United Kingdom, which means that an academic year is divided into three semesters, namely spring, summer and autumn semesters, let's take a look at the difference between these two words through a **:

And the foreigner mentionedgo to the school, which more accurately means "going to school", but it is not certain if you are not going to school, it may also be to go to school to work or have something to do at school.
