What do you like best about your school?
I like my school a lot. Our teachers are very good. Their lessons are usually interesting. There are large classrooms in the school where our pupils study different subjects. We have a library with many books. I like to go to the library during breaks and read books there. I also like our school gym and our PT lessons. Our PT teacher teaches us to play football, and in winter we learn to ski and skate. But the best thing about our school is that I have a lot of friends here! Most of my friends are my classmates.
Что в твоей школе нравится тебе больше всего?
Мне очень нравится моя школа. Наши учителя очень хорошие. Их уроки обычно интересны. В школе есть большие кабинеты, где ученики изучают разные предметы. У нас есть библиотека с множеством книг. Я люблю ходить в библиотеку на переменах и читать там книги. Мне также нравится наш школьный спортзал и наши уроки физкультуры. Наш учитель физкультуры учит нас играть в футбол, а зимой мы учимся кататься на лыжах и коньках. Но самое лучшее в нашей школе то, что у меня здесь много друзей! Большинство моих друзей - мои одноклассники.
