Dear Mary, How are you? Are you happy to be back to school? There are some things that I like about going to school. Firstly, I like to meet my classmates. Many of them are very nice people. As soon as we come to the classroom, we discuss our problems, talk about life, future plans and other things. Secondly, it is interesting to do the projects or the experiments during the lessons. My favourite subjects are Geography, History and English. Thirdly, school helps me to get some social skills. I learn to be positive and flexible. I learn to share the attention of my teachers with the other pupils in class. I respect my teachers because all of them are intelligent, highly qualified, sympathetic and understanding. However, there are some things that I don’t like about going to school. To start with, I have to get up very early as I don’t live close to my school. Also, we have to wear a school uniform. It’s boring! Finally, I always have to do my homework and don’t have much free time for my hobbies. All in all, school life is fantastic. We not only enrich our knowledge about life, but learn how to get on with each other. We learn to combine work and leisure. What do you think about going to school? Are there any rules you have to stick to in your school? Write to me and tell me all your news. Best wishes, Ann.
