I am studying in the 6th form. My class is not very bit. There are only twenty people in my class. There are eight girls and twelve boys. We all very friendly and always trying to help each other. Me and my classmates live nearby, so we often meet after school to play different games and just walk.
Today is Monday and my lessons begun at 8 o’clock. The first lesson was history. The teacher told us about the ancient Rome. It was a very interesting lesson! Then we had a break, when I talked with my classmates as usual. There were a few more lessons left, my favourite one was one of them. I like geography because we have a wonderful teacher who give us a lot of useful information about the world. We learnt many exciting things in each lesson. Today I was called by the teacher to answer in front of the whole class. I worried so much! It was a good idea to prepare for the lesson at home, so I got an excellent mark. My parents are always happy when I get excellent marks. They often praise for good studing.
When my lessons were over, I still had some free time to spend it with my friend. We walked not for a long time, so that I had time to do my homework that was quite a lot for tomorrow. I have to prepare to my music school lessons as well. I am very happy that the school day was useful for me
