1. Let’s talk about education. What can you tell me about the place where you study?
Everybody remembers his school all his life and can make a long speech about it. My school is a three-storied building of a modern design. Surrounded by a colourful sea of flowers, trees and bushes, it looks like a big white ship. There is a large stadium and a sports ground in front of it. On the ground-floor one can see cloak-rooms, workshops for boys, a large canteen, a small gym, a library and classrooms for junior forms.
On the first floor there is the teachers’ room, physics labs, a big gym and our Headmaster’s room. There is also a school hall where we have meetings and parties. Here there are also two workshops for girls, four classrooms for Belarusian, two classrooms for Russian and an English study.. In general, there are 13 English studies in our school. Besides, there are 2 computer classes on the first floor.
As for the second floor, you can find numerous mathematics classrooms, chemistry labs, history studies, botany and geography studies and so on.
In a whole our school makes a good impression. There are nice curtains on the windows, a lot of flowers on the window sills, pictures and decorative sets on the walls. The halls are full of sunlight. We are proud of our physics, chemistry, botany and English labs. They are equipped with tape-recorders, TV sets and other necessary things.
At school we acquire deep knowledge in various subjects, such as Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Russian and Belorussian languages and literature, History, Geography, and English. As I’ve said, we’ve got all facilities to acquire scientific knowledge and computer and trade skills.
2. Does your school have any traditions?
Our school has a lot of exciting traditions. It has become a tradition to open a new school year with  the’ First Bell ‘ holiday. In the morning on the first of September the first and eleventh formers parade in front of the school. The headmistress, teachers, pupils, parents greet the children and wish them success in studies.
Every first Saturday of February we celebrate the School-leavers Reunion Day. School leavers of different years come to our school and speak about their school years and share their life experience with us. Then schoolchildren  give a concert. It’s usually a very interesting and useful event.
Of course such parties as New Year, the 8th of March are celebrated with great amusement as well.
One of the most important traditions of our school is the Last Bell  holiday, when the 11th forms say good-bye to their school, thank their teachers, ask children to love their school, to keep carefully its traditions. Flowers, the words of greeting, love and respect are seen and heard in every corner of the school.
To sum it up I think our school has a lot of traditions that students and teachers should keep up carefully.
3. Ask me about my school life.
1. Where did you study?
2. What did your school look like?
3. How many floors were there in you school?
4. Who was your teacher of English?
5. What memories about your school do you value most?
4. What can you advise a student who is not very good at languages to do to achieve better results?
People say: “No bees, No honey.” That’s why I advise a student who is not good at languages to attend optional English classes, read more English books, watch English films, listen to different educational programs, songs, read in English to achieve better results. The Internet can offer such a student a great variety of activities to improve English.
5. Nowadays some young people complain that they have lots of problems at school. Do you agree with them?
Why not, it can be true about some young people. But they just don’t want to study. They may not like teachers or subjects or timetable or what not. They are always complaining about their huge home tasks or something else. There may be two reasons for such behavior: either they are lazy or depressed. As for me, I will never forget my school years. I think they are full of exciting events and funny moments.
