At the end of the nineteenth century a Frenchman called Baron Pierre de a Coubertin decided to revive the Olympic Games. He thought highly of sport. His motto «The important thing is not winning but taking part » is still remembered today. Coubertin believed very strongly that sportsmen must not compete for money, but for glory and for the honour of their country. On 5 April 1896, The Olympic Games began again, after nearly fifteen centuries. In 1913, Coubertin found an emblem of five linked rings. They became a symbol of the Olympic Games. These five rings represent five parts of the world: Europe, America, Australia, Africa, and Asia. The Olympic Games are held once every four years. The greatest wish for all the sportsmen is to win a medal, or simply to take part in the Olympic Games.
Our school is not very big. It’s a modern three-storeyed building of a typical design.In front of the school there is a big sports ground, behind it there is a small garden with beautiful flower- beds. Here on the sports ground pupils have their lessons of physical training when the weather is fine. When you enter the school, you will see a large gymnasium and workshops on the left. On the right there is a canteen. The cloak-room is downstairs. The classrooms, the laboratories, the doctor’s room, the library, the teachers’ room are on the upper floors. On the walls of the corridors you can see portraits of famous scientists, writers and outstanding people of our country. There are light curtains on the windows and many flowers on the window-sills. The halls are full of sunlight. Entering a classroom you’ll find three rows of desks, a teacher’s table, a blackboard and a bookcase. You’ll also see different pictures, diagrams and wall newspapers.
