Ask me about my school life.

What did you like best while studying at school? What was your favourite subject? Have you ever been to your school after finishing it?

4. What ideas from Belarusian school can you advise a teacher from Great Britain to use in British school?

It’s very difficult to give a piece of advice to a British teacher. Their school has a much longer history than ours. So they won’t change any traditions. As everybody knows the British are very conservative and they won’t change anything in their system of education.

5. Today some young people think that having a good education is very important. Do you agree with them?

In my view only a good education can guarantee a good job in the future. Those people who want to be successful in life and make a good career usually think of having a good education. It is very important for them. I quite agree that a good education gives you much more chances for success.

№6 Studying at school.

1. Let’s talk about education. What can you tell me about your school?

My school is a three-storeyed building. It is quite big with a sport ground behind it.

On the ground floor there are classrooms for the primary-school pupils, a kindergarten and workshops. There are all kinds of tools and machines in the workshops.

If you enter the school and turn left you see a big light dining-room. It is always busy and noisy, but it is clean. Here pupils and their teachers have their lunch. There are blue curtains on the windows and beautiful pictures on the walls.

There is a gymnasium on the ground floor as well. Our physical training lessons are held there. Our school has many classrooms. The classrooms are light and spacious. There are three large windows in each classroom with flower pots on the window sills.

Each room has a teacher's table, pupils’ desks and a blackboard. There are special classrooms for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, History, Geography, English, and Russian. On the first floor there is a big nice assemble hall. A lot of meetings, concerts, festivals are held there.

Our classroom is on the second floor. Its windows face the school-yard. Our form-mistress is a teacher of Russian language and literature. We respect her very much; she is a kind and knowledgeable teacher. She teaches us Russian and she is fond of her subject.

When I think about my school I don't remember its walls and desks; it is my teachers and school-mates who will be always with me. I am so thankful to our teachers for what they have done for us.

2. Do you agree that Belarusian secondary school provides a person with good knowledge? Why (not)?

I feel that Belarusian secondary school provides pupils with very good knowledge in different subjects. But in my opinion there are too many subjects on schedule. I would like to study 5 or 6 subjects which are necessary in my future. Belarusian schools should give senior students the chance to choose.
