Project content in English

The School of My Dream

I would like to change something in my school. The school of my dream is a big, beautiful school with wide and light corridors. There are new modern chairs and desks.There is a sport center with good swimming pool. There is a big green park around the school. There is a nice and tasty food. I think students need more salads, fruit, and buns.

There students spend a lot of time together. They help each other. The school life is very interesting. Students often go for walks, on excursions, to museums, cinema and theaters. There are kind, intelligent and fair teachers. Students go to lessons at nine or ten o’clock. They like to study very much. I would make the breaks between lessons longer. In my ideal school I would like to have my favorite every subjects day. Students have got their own computers on their desks.

The school library is very rich in new interesting books. There is hall which is full of different musical instruments. They are available to students.

The next step is holidays. Summer holidays are long enough but I would make autumn, winter and spring holidays longer to let pupils to spend more in different activities or to travel.

And, at last, I want to say that there are no difficult tests and home tasks at my school. Everyone is healthy, cheer and happy.

School Uniform

School uniform is an inseparable part of school life in many countries. Most schools in Russia also require school uniforms. However, some schools accept freestyle clothes.

Many people think how the school uniforms should look like. Some schools have blue uniforms, others use black or red. Some schools in Russia accept white shirts and black skirts for girls and black trousers for boys. However, all these school uniforms have something in common. They all look rather neat and strict. Pupils’s opinions on school uniform differ. Some say they like wearing it, while others prefer to wear jeans or bright T-shirts.

In my opinion, the school uniform has both advantages and disadvantages. First of all when children wear a school uniform, they understand that they are at school not at a swimming-pool or stadium. It adjusts them to school atmosphere and helps to study harder. Secondly, school uniforms prevent social inequality. It means that both rich and poor children wear the same clothes. Furthermore, children don’t have such a problem as what to wear in the morning. The disadvantages of school uniform include the loss of individuality. Everyone becomes alike and children look similar. The second problem may be untidiness. As children wear the same clothes every day their uniform starts to look a bit dirty and faded. Last but not the least school uniforms have become rather expensive lately. So, not everyone can afford to buy it.

As for me, I support the idea of ​​wearing a school uniform. I think that at home we can put on what we want, but at school we need to follow the rules.

There are a lot of interesting books in the library. In the library there are many portraits of famous Russian writers on the walls. Our school has two PT classrooms. One of them is located on the underground floor. This PT classroom is smaller than another one, which located between the ground and underground floor. This PT classroom is very useful for our students. And in our canteen room we always buy very tasty cakes.

The classrooms of the first, second and the third form are on the first floor. But sometimes we spend there some breaks. My favorite classroom is the Biology classroom and English. Biology classroom is very beautiful; there are many flowers and animals there. And in English classroom there are not many tables, because our class is learned by three teachers.

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. But 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.

Our school building is very large and made of red brick. It is neither old nor new, but it is well equipped and modern inside. Our school has 3 floors. The classrooms are spacious and bright. Many of them are equipped with a teacher's computer, TV and electronic board. Our school has 2 computer classes, a library with a reading room, an assembly hall, a dining room, a gym and a swimming pool. Outside the building there are also two football fields and a sports ground.

The bell for first lesson rings at 8.30 and we usually finish around 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon. As a rule, we have 6-7 lessons every day, and we study 6 days a week. After 4th lesson there is a long 20-minute break to have lunch or just a snack.

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 interschool sport competitions and evenings in class. I'm sure I'll miss school when I finish 11th grade.
