Describe your school

I study in XYZ Secondary School. It is one of the best schools in Singapore. It consists of several Roman style buildings. Our school has all the facilities of a modern school, such as well furnished and airy class rooms, best laboratories, a big library with a huge collection of books, a vast play ground and even a swimming pool.

Our school building is situated in the middle. There is motorway leading from the main entrance. The playground is on the left of the motorway and a big garden on the right. When you enter the building, the principal’s room is on the left. They are all well furnished. There are twenty classrooms. Our laboratories are well equipped. The school library has an up-to-date collection of books on many subjects. Our librarian and her two assistants are very helpful.

Our school, like other schools, has prescribed a uniform for us. We have to wear white trousers, a white shirt and a black tie. The girls have to wear white shirts and skirts.

Our principal is very strict as he pays strict attention to behavior, punctuality and cleanliness. The most well-behaved and punctual student will be assigned as the class prefect.

Our principal is a strict disciplinarian. He accepts the help and advice of all teachers. Though our principal is strict, he is fair and loving. He tries to find out the reason and guides us. If one violates any rules, he will be punished. Our principal is very strict in this aspect.

Our teachers are also very strict. They teach us with the utmost care, guide us with our assessments and other preparations and help us in times of need.

I like my school very much and am proud to be a student of that school.

Talk about yourself

I am an eleven year old Indian girl. I come from a family of three. I have two elder brothers. Both my parents are teachers. I am a primary six student at Fairfield Primary School. My complexion is light brown and I have dark, short hair.

I am very hard-working and always try to get the best grades in class. I must get a good education to fulfill my ambition. My ambition is to be a nurse. I like to take care of the sick and old.

I dislike outdoor activities and rarely participate in games. I enjoy doing things with my hands, like painting, gardening and sometimes I try simple cooking. I spend my free time in our small garden. I grow all kinds of plants in my garden. There are rose plants, hibiscus and morning glory. Sometimes I help my mother with the windows. I dust the furniture, iron the clothes and clean the windows.

My best friend is John. He lives in our neighborhood. We go to the same school. On Sundays John comes to my house to play with me.

My parents love me very much and give me the best of everything. I am a very happy little girl.

Iam going to discuss about my primary school namely Sir.C.R.R public school.It is one the famous and good school, which is located in the Eluru city, India and takes 18kms from my village.I studied in this school up to my 5th standard and the syllabus taught here is central syllabus.

My school is in the vicinity of my house. It is one of the big school in that area which is named one of the school's student. I went there when I was 6 years old, because it is not allowed to start school before than 6. The atmosphre at school was very reliable, we had our own scool sport teams at football and volleyball, also we had our labs, library, medical room, gym. Teacher stuff was very close with students, so we all respected our teachers. My school times are the most memorable times im my life, beacuse I enjoyed my every minute there. I had very good friends and teachers that I still keep in touch with them. I also belonged to our school's volleyball team, so we frequently were busy at gym and attended some competitons. Even in my last year we won "the best team among schools in 2010" award.

Describe a school that you went to when you were a child. You should say

- where the school was- when you went there- what the school and the teachers were like- and explain whether you enjoyed your time there.

I'm going to describe my primary school which is very near my house. It take me about 10 minutes from my home to school and it also next to my high school.

In Vietnam, we go to primary school at 6 years old and it is the same to me. In summer, I could collect a lot of phoenix flowers and push in my note books, and then I gave it to my best friend like a gift. My memory about teachers in that school is unclear now but I still remember my third grade teacher. The reason is she usually wore Ao Dai with a modern collar which could show her neck and a little of her shoulder. And she is the only person who gave me a seat on special class for outstanding student.One of important things I love my childhood at that school because I met my ex-best friend from there, we played, we learned, we laughed, we ate together. Besides that, my school used to be a hospital in war, so that we talked about a lot of ghost stories, dared each other and our classmates to go to girl toilet at twilight.I can conclude that I love my school because all my special memories was there.

HI EVERYBODY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY DEAREST TEACHER Simon!The story which is going to be explained by me right now is the school that I participated .Well,I went to Saddiqi school for 12 years which it took me merely 5 minutes from our home .It is located in Charikar city Afghanistan.like most countries, students start school when they get seven year and I did so too.My school is such a small city, and it has everything inside.for instance,gym,swimming pool,football field and so on.I love my teachers and classmates because definitely they were so benign.I got many friends in school and we are in touch even now.The teachers were also very intelligent as well as they thought me how to learn and how to handle with problems.meanwhile, one of my teachers always told me be positive and open-minded.It might assist you through being an excellent student that certainly helped me

too much in my life.As a last point,I love my school and the people who were communicating and around me there.

I am going to talk about my school where I went for my primary education. It was named as S.R primary state school. The school was located right next to Indra Gandhi memorial art gallery. It was only 1o minutes drive from my house.I went there to study in the 4th grde when i was around 9 years old for my further study.

I coul not complete my primary education in Kanpur city, because my father's company transferred him to New Delhi office. After arriving in New Delhi, I joined S.R primary state school to complete my further primary education.The school was composed of 3 stories, and a basement. On the ground floor, office of the head master and administrative block were situated. On the second and third floor all the class rooms and staff rooms were there. Finally, in the basement, there was recreation cetre for both students and staff. Teachers and non teaching staff were very polite and helpful to all of us. Sometimes, teachers were taking extra classes after school timng and even on the weekends. I remember I missed one class due to illness. One of the concerned teacher delivered me an extra lecture at his home in order to complete the portion of the subject , which I could't attand.All in all, I really had a fantastic time during my primary schooling to have a lot of fun and excitement.

Well, i woud like to tell you about my primary school. That is a large school in my village, a countryside area in Thai Binh province. It is located near the riverside flowing through our village. You know, in Vietnam, all children are permitted to go to school at 6 years old and I was not exceptional child.When i was at that school, i had many close friends and really good teachers who i still keep contact with up to now. Even some of them still are my best frinds at the moment. All of us usually meet together whenever we have opputunity. The reason why i have unforgetable memories at my primary school is that we used to play a lot of traditional games on the play ground during playtime after hard lectures, for example playing cards, skipping and some other games i don,t know what are in Enghlish. Almost of them no longer exist today. That is all.

well,I'd like to use 2 mins to tell you about my high school, PCT public school. that is the biggest and greatest school in my hometown, so i was very pround of experiencing my 4 yeas in PCT school. I suppose that 4 years was my most beautiful school time because i met my close friends and have many wonderful memories with my classmates and my teachers. But the reason makes me still remember my high school is my head teacher, who not only taught me knowledge but also taught me how to be a good guy. she always helped me solve my problems. that's all

I'm going to talk about my primary school, it's Indonesian Public School. The school was located near my house around 10 minutes walk on foot to get there. I went to School when i was around almost 6 years old for compulsory elementary education. I went there until i finished my primary education. The teacher and all the staff was kind and welcome, although there were a few teachers that i was afraid of because they really tend to easy get angry. But most of them were very polite and generous. The School building was not quite good, it's old building and the facilities didn't good enough. but what i most like in my school, the environment was very green and the air was so fresh and clean. As far as i remembered, i really have fun with friends in there. i involved in many class activities, discussion, presentation etc. Teachers were encouraged us to active in many school activities. it's kinda unforgettable experienced when i was i child.
