II. Let’s talk about studying at school
It goes without
saying that it’s better for a person to start education when he or she is a
child. According to our Constitution everybody has a right to a schoolplace for
a child from the age of 6 or 7. These places are provided free of charge. In
our country we have compulsory primary and secondary school education. Children
study at school for 9 years then they may either continue their education at
school or go to colleges and vocational schools. There is a wide choice of
schools, colleges, vocation schools and universities to suit all tastes, income
and inclinations.
So pupils spend
at school the most important years in their lives. Their character and
perception of the world are formed there. In this pe¬riod they grow up, get
stronger, find friends, develop their talents and skills and begin to
understand life. Therefore school remains in our hearts during all our life.
It’s common
knowledge that the success of school education de¬pends mainly on the teachers,
their professional skills, the kind of rela¬tionship they can establish with
pupils. I am proud to say that my teach¬ers are highly educated people. And
what is no less important our teach¬ers have always been ready to help us
arrange any celebration, competi¬tion, meeting with interesting people of our
town.
I especially
like our history teacher who involved us into interesting discussions at the
lessons. She told us a lot about famous people and the life of people in
different times. She taught us to think critically about
information we
get and helped us to understand our society and its his¬tory.
Our English
teacher is a very creative person. It was very interesting and useful to take
part in different language games. She told us a lot of interesting facts about
English-speaking countries, their culture and tra-ditions. We took part in
international language projects and she also helped us find pen-pals in foreign
countries.
In my opinion
the conditions pupils study in influence a lot the qua¬lity of education they
get. In our school there is everything necessary for both study and leisure.
The 3-storeyed school building itself is of a typi¬cal design. But its
corridors and classrooms are very beautiful. The cor¬ridors are decorated with
ceramics made by our pupils and teachers. We have a modem library where we can
read books, enjoy pictures and vir-tual galleries, surf the internet.
Our classrooms
are very comfortable. They are light and clean, they all have original
decorations. All rooms are well equipped. For instance, there are 2 computer
classrooms, most of classrooms have PCs .There are also two spacious gyms and a
training hall. The only thing I don't like about my school is that some pupils
don't keep our corridors and classrooms clean. I feel ashamed when I see such
things.
I'd like to say
once again that school means a lot to me. First and foremost it provides a high
level of education. I spent a lot of time at school as I attended optional
lessons in maths, English, Belarusian, Rus¬sian and physics. I was fond of
taking part in extra-class activities. I can proudly say my heart is full of
gratitude to the teachers for the knowl¬edge they gave me and to many of my
friends for making my school life enjoyable.
