My school

Many people look back on school years with sadness and some nostalgia; others, on the contrary, with hatred and boredom. As for me, I am fond of my school. I study in the 10th form of a local comprehensive school which provides advanced study of some subjects. I chose the class of Maths because I think that I’m good at it. And other subjects don’t come so easy to me. So there are 6 lessons of Maths every week in our timetable. By the way we don’t have those day-books which our parents used to have. All our marks can be checked in a special electronic register in the Internet.

The building of our school is very big and made of red brick. It’s neither old nor new, but it is well-equipped and modern inside. Our school has 3 floors. The classrooms are spacious and light. Many of them are equipped with a teacher’s computer, a TV-set and an electronic board. There are 2 computer classes, a library with a reading-room, an assembly-hall, a dining hall, a gymnasium and a swimming-pool in our school. There are also 2 football fields and a sports ground outside the building.

The bell for the first lesson rings at half past 8 and we usually finish at about 2 or 3 p.m. As a rule we have 6 or 7 lessons a day and we study 6 days a week. There is a long 20-minute break after the 4th lesson to have lunch or just a snack.

I love and respect our principal and most of our teaching stuff. Although some of them are quite strict and old-fashioned, they give very interesting lessons and proper knowledge. The atmosphere in our class is always friendly and busy. Fortunately we haven’t had any bullying or rude behavior among our classmates. I made best friends with some of them. We often take part in school activities together. There are musical performances, intellectual games, concerts, school and inter-school sports competitions and class parties in our school. I"m sure I will miss my school life after I finish the 11th form.

Many people look back on their school years with sadness and nostalgia; others, on the contrary, with hatred and boredom. Personally, I love my school. I am a 10th grade student at a local comprehensive school that offers advanced study of some subjects. I chose a math class because I think I have a knack for it. Other subjects don't come so easily to me. Therefore, our schedule includes 6 math lessons per week. By the way, we don’t have the same diaries that our parents had. All our assessments can be checked in a special electronic journal on the Internet.

I love and respect our principal and most of the teaching staff. Although some of them are quite strict and old-fashioned, they provide very interesting lessons and necessary knowledge. The atmosphere in our class is always friendly and businesslike. Fortunately, we never had any aggression or rude behavior among our classmates. I found my best friends among them. We often take part in school events together. The school hosts musical performances, mind games, concerts, school and inter-school sports competitions and classroom evenings. I'm sure I'll miss school when I finish 11th grade.

I am going to tell you about my school. My school is new and modern and I like it very much. It has three floors. The classrooms are light and spacious. There are classrooms for different subjects, such as English, History, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology Literature etc.

There is a computer class in our school. We study computer science here. The computer class has the most modern equipment and the Internet access.

We’ve also an assembly hall, which is located on the second floor. Meetings, conferences, concerts and all the celebrations take place here. We prepare different performances for all holidays. We sing songs, recite poetry, dance, and participate in theater performances.

There are many opportunities to go in for sports in our school. Our school has a gym, a sports ground, a football field, a swimming pool, and other sports facilities. There are many different sports groups: table tennis, swimming, athletics, football, volleyball, wrestling, and rhythmic gymnastics. Many pupils of our school attend these sports groups.

In our school we have also painting group, dance group, theater group and rock group. All these groups are very popular and many pupils attend them.

The teachers in our school are very skilled. They try to give us all their knowledge and awake our interest to their subjects and to self study. Besides the school subjects, our teachers tell us about everything, about different problems of our world, such as ecology, nature protection, climate changes etc.

There is a good tradition in our school. Every year people who graduated from our school come here to meet their teachers and classmates. These meetings take place every first Saturday of February.

I think that school years are very important for every person. It’s a period of becoming adult, achieving knowledge, and choosing your way in life. Often school friends remain your friends for all your life. So I’ll never forget my school, my teachers, and my classmates.

From the title of the article you can immediately conclude that it is intended exclusively for the school curriculum. Textbooks often contain texts in English about a school in Britain or the USA, and students, in turn, are asked to talk about the educational institution in which they study.

A more serious text would directly relate to the education system as a whole or would address some problem in this area. However, describing a school in English is a fairly common topic, which means it can come up in any lesson or exam.

Introductory part: Alma mater

When making an oral description or in the process of writing an essay about school in English, remember that the listener/reader (and as a rule, the only interested listener/reader of such texts is the teacher) will be glad to hear that you love school and cannot live without it, even if this is very far from the truth. You can start like this:

“They say, live and learn. And the first place where we begin our learning is school. It is the place where we meet almost all our friends, the place where every day brings new emotions and new experience. So I like my school because it gives me the opportunity to gain knowledge, to communicate with friends, to explore the world. Now I would like to describe my school.” – “As they say, live forever and learn. And the first place where we start our studies is school. Is this the same place? where we meet almost all of our friends, a place where every day brings new emotions and new experiences. So, I love my school for the opportunity to gain knowledge, communicate with friends and explore the world. I would also like to talk about my school.”

This introduction may well be an independent mini-text in a lesson on the topic “School”.

“Our school is very clean and light. It has two floors and two departments – for elementary and for primary school. There are 20 spacious classrooms, a large assembly hall, a large canteen with tall windows, home economics classroom for girls and workshops for boys, and a beautiful Music and Arts classroom. I know that our school is so wonderful thanks to the teachers’ and the headmaster’s work, and I think we should understand and respect it.” – “Our school is very clean and bright. It has two floors and two wings - for primary and secondary schools. We have 20 spacious classrooms, a large assembly hall, a large dining room with huge windows, a spacious classroom for labor and, of course, a very beautiful music and fine arts classroom. I know that our school has become such a great school because of the work of the teachers and the principal, and I believe that we should understand and appreciate that.”

Do you love any item? Describe his class!

To show your knowledge of vocabulary from another topic, when describing a school in English, you can describe the class in which lessons are taught in your favorite subject. For example:

“There are lots of classes in our school, but I like the Music and Arts classroom most of all. Frankly speaking, Music and Arts are my favorite subjects. Maybe it’s the reason why I like this classroom so much. There are a lot of pictures on the walls. Some of them are made by senior students; some are the reproductions of masterpieces of famous artists. There is also a large piano in the classroom, and our teacher plays it every lesson” – “There are many classes in our school. But what I like most is the music class. Honestly, music and art are my favorite subjects. Maybe that's why I like this class so much. In this classroom there are pictures hanging on the walls. Some of them were drawn by high school students, and some are reproductions of masterpieces by famous artists. There is also a large piano in the classroom, our teacher plays it every lesson.”
