My favourite subject We study one of the modern languages at school. It is English. It’s my favourite subject. At the lessons of English we learn to read, write and speak. We learn the History and Geography of our country, Great Britain and the USA. We read stories after famous English and American children’s writers.
I want to be clever at English because English will help me in my future life. I shall read books in English, watch films and listen to the songs and understand them. But what is more important, I shall speak with people from other countries and we’ll understand each other. We’ll make friends and will live in peace. (98 words)
My School All children at the age of six go to school. Schooling is free, universal and compulsory. Children leave school at the age of 17, so school becomes their second home. On the first of September millions of pupils come back to school after summer holidays to start or continue studies, to meet classmates and teachers. Traditionally the first day at school is a holiday- the Day of Knowledge.
Our school is situated in the main street. It’s a large school. It was built in 1991 on a special design. Our school is beautiful and well-planned. There we meet our teachers and friends on the first of September and other holidays. (94 words)
School life In our country school begins at the age of six. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of seventeen. School year begins on the first of September. Children going to school with their bags and flowers on the first school day look so clean and nice. Some of them wear uniforms, but some don’t.
Classes usually begin at eight. Children study Maths, Art, Music, PE, Geography, French or English. When classes are over about one o’clock schoolchildren have autumn, winter and spring holidays for ten days. School is over at the end of May and summer holidays are the longest.

Season There are four seasons in a year. They are winter, spring, summer and autumn. Every season has its own charm and is good in its own way. There is much snow in winter. It often snows. I like to ski, skate in winter. In spring we enjoy the first grass, green leaves and the first flowers. The sun shines brighter and the days become longer. Summer is the hottest season when there are a lot of fruit, berries and vegetables. Schoolchildren have their longest holidays. It’s my favourite season. I like to swim, lie in the sun, and play outdoors in summer. Autumn comes after summer. It’s tasty and beautiful season. Because there are a lot of fruits in autumn; apples, pears, grapes, plums, watermelons and melons. The weather is usually fine. I think all season are beautiful.
Holidays I think all people like holidays, because they don’t work and have a good time. They can visit their friends and relatives, invite guests and have a lot of fun. There are many different holidays. Our favourite holidays are Christmas and New Year. They are full of magic, presents and hopes. Every year we have a New Year tree and decorate it with toys and colored lights. We send and get many greeting cards. We buy and give presents to our dearest and nearest. I like to get presents. Last year my parents gave me a wonderful game and many tasty things as a present.
We usually have a holiday supper with many tasty things. When a clock strikes twelve the grown-ups drink a toast to the New Year and wish Happy New Year to each other. I think it is the best holidays. (130 words)
