Экзаменационная устная тема к ГИА Моя школа / My school (9 класс,ЛНР)


My school
My school is not very big and quite old. It was founded in 1968.
On the ground floor there are several classrooms for the Primary school and workshops, a cloakroom, a canteen, and a headmaster’s office. The classrooms of the first, second and the third forms are on the first floor. But sometimes we spend there some breaks. My favorite classrooms are the Biology and English classrooms. Biology classroom is very beautiful, there are many flowers there. And in English classroom there are a lot of tables, posters and maps in English. I like English, because it’s a subject I am interested in. I like learning new words, acting out texts and dialogues, and discussing interesting things in English.
The school library is on the second floor. There are a lot of interesting books in the library. Larisa Petrovna is in charge of all this treasure. She is always nice to pupils that’s why my friends and I usually come here to borrow a book.
There are 400 pupils in our school. Some of them love our school but some of them think that it is a load of their lives. I thought this way some years ago, but now I understand that all the years I have spent in my school are the best years ever.
School year starts, as a rule, on the 1st of September and ends in May. It lasts for 9 months: from September till May. We have 4 holidays per year. The Summer holidays are the longest. They last for 3 months. The winter holidays are shorter, they are just two weeks long. During the holidays we don’t study, we have a rest. During the terms we go to school every day except Sundays and Saturdays. On weekdays we work hard. On weekends we have a rest, as a rule.
All pupils of our school learn English. At the lessons we check our hometasks, ask and answer questions, read English texts and translate sentences both from English into Russian and from Russian into English. We describe pictures and speak on various topics. During the English lesson we speak, read and write in English. Sometimes we listen to the audios. We don’t speak Russian in class. As I want to master speaking and reading in English, I must be attentive during the lessons and always do my homework.
Each lesson lasts for forty five minutes. During the breaks we just stand outside, talk, play and revise our homework. We also have lunch. Some of us eat in the canteen, but most bring their own lunches with them. We usually have a lot of homework and it takes us several hours to cope with it. Sometimes we have to sit up to write a composition, to prepare a report or to learn a poem by heart. I like my school and I will remember it all my life.
