As we become older we
realize that there are some essential things and places we always long
to come back. They are certainly our birthplace, our home and our
school. We will always be indebted to our school and parents for the
rest of our lives.
Generally
speaking, children go to school at the age of 6-7. They study for 11
years. At school the pupils get fundamentals of knowledge in different
subjects.
My school
house is one of the most interesting from the point of view of the
architecture. It’s not big but rather attractive. There are two sport
grounds on the both sides of the school house. In front of the building
there are fir trees and a lot of flower beds. Our class rooms are well
equipped with all necessary things for learning different subjects.
These are modern teaching materials, necessary devices and facilities.
The
ground floor is as a rule for junior pupils in most schools. Its
classes are light and spacious. You can see a lot of portraits,
pictures , maps on the walls. And moreover the windows face the yard so
you have time to dream a bit while teacher is explaining something not
very interesting from your point of view. Besides there is a gymnasium
where the children have physical training lessons and all sorts of
competitions. Next to the gymnasium there is a school canteen where
pupils can have a bite during the breaks. On the third floor there is
an assembly hall where parties and meetings are held. The pupils
decorate it for special occasions to make it look more attractive.
I
will never forget my first day at school. Everything seemed unusual to
me: school things ,new friends and teachers. I felt a little shy, but
at the same time curious .My parents and teachers encouraged me, I got
acquainted with my new friends. Soon I began to feel at home and in the
command of the situation. I was eager to become a good pupil, to be
active in out of class activities.
Our
school life is full of different events. They include meetings,
sittings, conferences, lectures, concerts, competitions, discussions,
evening parties. All these arrangements are prepared by pupils but
teachers also help them. Some pupils at school are members of
hobby-clubs, dancing groups, drama circle. They arrange performances to
mark different holidays. English evening parties include recitations of
English and American poetry, songs and short plays. Some of the
customers are made by members of circles.
There are many good traditions in our school life. Some of them are the holiday of the first and the last bell.
Every
year thousands of children come for the first time to school where they
will study for 11 years. Traditionally they are congratulated by their
parents, teachers, guests and school-leavers. Early in the morning the
school yard is full or noisy children who are cheerfully exchanging
their impressions after summer holidays.
