Hi, Emily, School life in Russia is very interesting. Children go to primary school at the age of 7. School is also compulsory in our country. School is not only lessons and homework but also best friends, clubs and excursions. At the end of each term my class visits some famous places in Rusia. I go to secondary school and my school day begins at 8 o`clock. Usually we have six lessons. Each lesson is 45 minutes and after it we have a break. We wear a uniform at school-dark skirts and blue blouses for girls and dark trousers and blue shirts for boys. The lessons end at two o`clock. Then we go home or to a club. There are a lot of school clubs and they are free. Sending you some pictures of my school. Bye- bye, Vanya.
Nowadays all the information we could ever need is available online and some people say that means the end of having to learn anything.
It is true that these days everything you want to know is a few clicks away as long as you have internet access. However, not everyone has working internet all the time, for example in certain buildings or remote locations, so we do need to be able to remember information. Moreover, it takes time to look up everything you need to know online, whereas remembering something is immediate. The human memory is a much more efficient system.
