I would like to tell you about my school and my classmates,about my daily routine. The most important thing for me at school is to study well, respect teachers and other adults, follow the rules of my school and wear a school uniform. I usually try to do my homework perfectly and get good marks. My favourite school subjects are English, History and Literature. I’m fond of sport and music. So I joined our school clubs two years ago. They are Basketball and Musical clubs. My school life is wonderful. There are lots of concerts, performances and sport competitions in our school. My classmates and I often take part in different school events. I have a lot of friends in my class. Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly. Tomorrow we are going to arrange our first school party. Next week I will present a project about English-speaking countries. I have already found much interesting information but I haven't finished my presentation yet. At the moment I am just writing the text in it. Right now I am telling about London. Yesterday I wrote about Scotland and its people. When I finish doing this presentation I'll learn a poem by heart. It's the most wonderful poem I have ever heard. I never think that studying is so interesting!
Well, I have no time, there are many things to do tonight.
Write back.
Yours,
Dan
