2. When I get out of my bed I open cutains and do my morning exercises. It takes me about 7 to 10 minutes and then I go to the shower.
3. I have my breakfast at 7 o'clock. Usually I have a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I can't eat much in the morning. Sometimes I drink orange juice.
4. After breakfast I get dressed. It takes me about 40 minutes. And at about 8 o'clock I leave for school.
5. I live not far from school. So, I walk there. It takes me about 10 minutes to get to school.
6. I have a couple of friends at school. We spend much time together. Of course I would like to sit next to them. But our teachers make their own decision on how we should sit.
7. My classes finish at about 3 o'clock. After school I go for a walk with my friends and then go home for lunch. Usually I come home at about 4 o'clock.
8. If the weather is bad we don't walk and I go straight home. So, sometimes I come home half an hour earlier.
9. As soon as I get home I change, wash my hands and have lunch. I love eating soup for lunch. After lunch I do my homework.
10. We have many subjects at school and I have a lot of things to do. Every day I spend about 2 or 3 hours doing my homework.
11. As soon as it's done I am free and can watch television. Most of all I like different shows and serials. Usually I watch TV for an hour and a half. I can't say that I am a big fan of TV. I like reading books more.
12. My favourite programs are "Wheel of Fortune", "Voice" and "Grimm". The first two are shows and the third one is a serial.
13. After this I meet my friends. Sometimes we watch TV together and then go for a walk or just chat. We see each other every day but always have something to talk about.
14. We go for a walk to the park which is not far from my house. It's a nice and large park with a lot of trees and bushes. It's very green and the air is very fresh there.
15. When I grow up I would like to have my own business connected with health and beauty. Maybe, a gym or a beauty shop.
16. I like sleeping very much. So, I try to go to bed not too late to feel ok next day. Usually I go to bed at 10 o'clock.
17. Before going to bed I have light dinner, then go to shower and read a book. And of course I talk to my parents and we discuss everything happened today.
Dear Lora,
Hi! How are you? Today I want to tell you about the school of my dreams. I study in this school and it really exists. My ideal school is on an island. Our lessons usually are outside in the fresh air. We can sit in a circle on the lawn or under the trees. We have only basic equipment like notebooks, pens and crayons. There are no projectors and we definitely have no laptops in my school. Lessons last half an hour each. We have many interesting lessons like science, wildlife, and nature. In these lessons we usually go on trips to the forest to see wildlife and discuss some problems of nature.
We also do lots of fun after-school activities. Boys mostly enjoy going in for white-water rafting, kayaking and mountain climbing but girls prefer to do gymnastics and swimming. I think in this school all students find activities that he or she likes most.
Also students often travel around the world and learn many things, like the history, culture and language of the places they visit. We already visited such countries as Spain, Italy and Russia. Trips are not something special – they’re part of everyday school life. We try to get knowledge and enjoy life at the same time. This is really great because you have a chance to meet a lot of new people and know about their way of life. All this helps you to widen your horizon and feel happy.
What is your ideal school like?
Write back soon,
Sara
