                            My School

We all spend quite a big part of our lives at school. It is a place where we get education and where we are taught important life lessons, so it is no exaggeration to say that my school has become my second home.

My school day begins at 8:30 a.m. and lasts till 3 in the afternoon. We have classes every day from Monday to Saturday. We learn Russian, Literature, Maths, English, History, Biology, Handicraft and other subjects.

Our school is quite big. There are a lot of good-sized classrooms, a spacious assembly hall, a canteen, a gym and a library in the school. Every classroom has a chalkboard/whiteboard, a few bookcases and a lot of desks and chairs. On the walls there are pictures and maps.

Our school is a great place for children because of its dedicated teachers. Most of them are kind to pupils. Our teachers are always ready to answer our questions and listen to our problems.

I really like my school and I am happy to study in it.

Мы все проводим довольно большую часть нашей жизни в школе. Это место, где мы получаем образование и где нам преподают важные уроки жизни, поэтому не будет преувеличением сказать, что школа стала моим вторым домом.

Мой учебный день начинается в 8:30 утра и длится до 3 часов дня. У нас занятия каждый день с понедельника по субботу. Мы изучаем русский язык, литературу, математику, английский, историю, биологию, технологию и другие предметы.

Наша школа довольно большая. Здесь есть много больших кабинетов, просторный актовый зал, столовая, спортзал и библиотека. В каждом классе есть меловая/белая доска, несколько книжных шкафов и множество парт и стульев. На стенах висят картины и карты.

Наша школа — замечательное место для детей, потому что у нас преданные своему делу учителя. Большинство из них добры к ученикам. Учителя всегда готовы ответить на наши вопросы и выслушать наши проблемы.

Мне очень нравится моя школа, и я счастлив(а) учиться в ней.
