STUDYING AT SCHOOL
- Let’s talk about education. What’s your school like?
My school is an ordinary building in a new residential area, a three-storied building with a spacious gym. Most of our classrooms are quite good, light and spacious. When you enter this or that classroom you understand what subject is taught here as you see special devices or equipment in every room.
At school we work at many things like physical development, emotions, relationships and which is the most important we get knowledge. Various subjects are studied at our gymnasium. As for me I’m fond of … I work hard so as to gain appropriate knowledge and to pass my future exams successfully.
School is our second home. No one can forget it.
- Do you agree that our school gives a person a good start in life? Why (not)?
School education gives us knowledge. Knowledge helps to acquire a critical understanding of social, economic and political orders and reasonable set of attitudes, values and beliefs. Not to speak about the fact that it develops a sense of self-respect, the capacity to live as independent, self-motivated adults and the ability to function as contributing members of the society. In fact, it’s like a candle which gives light in the darkness, as it guides us to do better in life.
I fully agree with it. As I have said before the school years are the most important years in the life of every person. Their character and perception of the world are formed there. In this period they grow up, get stronger, find friends, develop their talents and skills and begin to understand life. Therefore school remains in our hearts during our life.
- Ask me what kind of pupil I was at school?
- Did you like to study at school?
- What optional lessons did you attend?
- Did you take part in extra-class activities?
- Did you have any problems at school?
- Which school club would you advise your classmate to join?
Our gymnasium provides children not only with knowledge. It’s also a place where children spend their free time. There are many amateur groups or circles and sport sections in my gymnasium. Special teachers help children to develop their creative abilities either in sport sections, a school theatre or to improve English after classes. Ecology and tourism are also very popular today.
I would recommend to join a sport sections to be stronger and athletically build. Any sport needs not only strength but critical thinking of the situation. That’s why my choice is sport club.
- Today some young people think that having a good education is very important. Do you agree with them?
We live in a century of high-developed technology. And all professions need special education. Nowadays only highly qualified workers can deal with rather sophisticated equipment and computers.
A modern person has to know where and how to get information and knowledge in order to have a good job and be a success. So, people have to get education during all their lives.
