MY SCHOOL

Sample 1

           I think I can make a long speech about my school. School is a very special place. It’s a temple of knowledge, a place where you grow up and take knowledge, make friends and develop your abilities and your personality. 

         I study at secondary school in Soligorsk. It is famous for its high quality of education. Firstly, the children begin learning English in the first form. Secondly, the number of English lessons is greater.

         Our school looks nice and lovely. It’s a clean and attractive three-storeyed building. 

         When you enter the school you will see a large entrance hall, cloakrooms, on the left there is a gym, a library, Headmaster’s office and  the canteen.

            On the first floor there is the Assembly Hall, a teachers′ room, a computer class, and a lot of classrooms to study. Our classrooms are well-equipped, cosy and home-like. They are fully-equipped with computers, white boards, TV sets, projectors and so on.

              Here I’d like to say that my teachers are highly educated and experienced. They are always friendly and tolerant. My favourite subject at school is … We have a very good and enthusiastic teacher who inspired in me an interest of… She is a very creative person and the manner of her teaching is perfect. The pupils are well-disciplined and well-behaved at her lessons.

            Our school has a busy life. There are a lot of extra-class activities. We have parties and concerts, different contests and competitions. 

             We also learn about the traditions of the English-Speaking countries and celebrate such holidays as Christmas’s, Valentine’s Day `, St Patrick′s Day and many others. For example, this March we had pancake races on Shrove Tuesday. Our English teacher baked pancakes and we competed in two teams in tossing pancakes. It was really funny.                              I like the friendly atmosphere at my school. I like my class. I always feel at home here. Everybody is  friendly and easy to get along with. I am on good terms with my classmates and we often spend our free time together.

           In conclusion I’d like to say  that school means a lot to me, I like most of my teachers and many of my friends who make my school life enjoyable.
