My name is Ksusha and I`m a student of lyceum 37 in Saratov. I like my school very much and that`s why I`d like to tell you about it. For some students school is a boring place, but as for me it is an attractive place and I`m quite happy at my school. The standard of education in my school is very high. We study various subjects and our lessons are usually interesting and exiting. I`m absolutely sure that a teacher plays an important role in our education. I think that I`m lucky because all my teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable. Most of my teachers understand the difficulties of learning process very well. Theyhelp us to learn and advise us on all aspects of our life. They share their knowledge and experience with us and we respond with love. They support us and take care of us. That`s why I`m happy at school and so are my classmates.
