Hello from England!
You wanted to know about my school. Well, I go to primary school. I like going to school. There is fun atmosphere in my school and all my class mates are very nice and friendly. My school is not very big but my classroom is comfortable and great. There is a zoo there!We've got a lot of subjects at school. I think it is easy to study in my school. My favourite subjects are Art, English,Maths and Music. I'm good at reading but I am not good at spelling. I hate spelling tests. And I don't like doing my home work. Best of all I like break time. Do you like going to school?Is your school big or small?What are your favourite subjects?Is there a computer class in your school?
