Топик/тема по английскому языку My school

       I can say that I have been happy at school. I believe school is not only walls, but walls are also important. If the building is cosy and comfortable, if it is freshly-painted and repaired, if it is well-equipped, the pupils feel that the state pays attention to their studies, that they will be needed as educated people.
       I like my school building because it is clearly seen that everything has been designed so as to help the pupils. You can easily find your way around the school.
       There are 5 floors in it. On the ground floor you can see a gym, a medical room, a dinighall, metal workshops and home economics classrooms. It is very convenient to have a dinighall at school, because we can have a snack or lunch there - the prices are reasonable and the range of food is rather good. Cakes and buns baked at school are so tasty that I buy them to bring home for tea. On the first floor you can see a library, an assembly hall, two computer labs and physics, biology, and chemistry labs. Our library is a wonderful one, because of the librarian, I believe. Natalia Ivanovna always supplies us with the necessary books. The headmaster's office and the teachers' room are also on the first floor. On the second floor you can see the classrooms of Russian, Mathematics and other subjects. Our school museum is also on the second floor. The third floor is dedicated entirely to English. There are eight English classrooms there. The walls of the corridors are decorated with the pictures of famous British and American sights. You can see Big Ben, the Stone-henge, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building. The primary school occupies the fourth floor, so we don't go there often.
       Our school his very well equipped. Our computer labs are supplied with ten computers each, and the computers are available for the students to prepare their papers and reports after lessons. Each lab also has a printer and a scanner. What I appreciate most of all is the connection to the Internet. I have acquired many useful skills - typing, Internet navigation, dealing with text documents. Some classrooms are supplied with VCRs and tape-recorders, so teachers offer us to watch special films. Our classrooms are cosy and home-like, because there are lots of flowers and posters on the walls, nice curtains hang on the windows. We help keep our school clean and tidy by washing wails and windows every term.
       The teachers of our school are professionals. They do their best to help us study. But for their talent for finding vivid examples and for explaining the most difficult things in a simple way most of us would not be able to study well. Our teacher of history explains everything in detail, so that we can understand the inner tendencies of all events. That makes a great deal easier to memorize the dates. If something is not clear, he is always glad to answer our questions. Everyone loves our teacher of Russian and Russian literature, because she is very clever and learned. It seems she knows every piece of literature and the biographies of all Russian writers. We respect her for being so self-possessed and democratic. No problem seems too difficult to her. But most of all I love my teacher of English for her care about us and our knowledge of English. I am happy that I have studied at a school with such good teachers. 1 think that the knowledge I got from my teachers will help me enter Herzen University and become an educated person.
       My favourite school subject is English because I like the teacher, but also because it is useful and interesting. It is interesting to learn about the English language and about the English-speaking countries, their culture and people. I suppose the knowledge of a foreign language, preferably English, is essential for an educated person who expects to find an interesting and a well-paid job in the future. But I'm not very good at physics and chemistry. For me these are hard nuts to crack. It is difficult for me to memorize and use formulas.
       Our school offers us many out-of-class activities, including several clubs, excursions and school theatre. The most popular is the English club where we learn English and study the English speaking countries. Our school also participates in the International exchange programme, so every year several pupils can visit a country where English is spoken as a native language. Our school theatre is also loved by everybody. There the plays of Russian and English playwrights are staged. We are proud of staging English plays in English. We visit theatres together and discuss the plays after the lessons. During the English week we conduct research in the history, politics and geography of the English-speaking countries. We also often go on excursions to many interesting places with our teacher of history, who is our form master. My friends and I have been to Novgorod and Sevastopol this year.
       I have got a good many friends at school. Some of them are my classmates. I am happy because my classmates are very friendly. We help each other with difficult subjects and borrow books from each other. I feel that I can rely upon my friends in difficult circumstances. During the breaks we speak about everything in the world and share all our secrets. It is great to have so many friends. That is why I can say that I was happy at school.
