What does your school building look like

You have 30 minutes to do this task. You have received an email message from your English-speaking pen-friend Max:

Write a message to Max and answer her 3 questions. Write 100–120 words. Remember the rules of letter writing.

Thanks for your letter. I’m sorry I couldn’t answer you earlier, I had to prepare for the upcoming classes.

I am glad to know that you like your new school and I also hope that everything will be alright and you can make a lot of new friends.

I remember my first impression of the school I am studying in. I liked it from the first sight. Our school is not a big light green four-storied building. There are a lot of classrooms, a large assembly hall, a beautiful modern library with a computer class, a spacious canteen and a wonderful sports hall. I wish we had a swimming pool, but this is not possible in this building. I enjoy our PE classes, as our school sports facilities are topnotch and we have modern fitness equipment even in our gym.

I adore my school and it would be very sad to change it one day. There can be different circumstances under which I would have to change my school, but I prefer staying and studying here with my friends and great teachers.

I’m sorry, but I have to leave now, it’s time for me to walk my dog.

You are going to give a talk about your school. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.

Remember to say:

• what you like most about your school;

• what weekday you find the most difficult, and why;

• what you would like to change in your school life.

You have to talk continuously.

I would like to start with the idea that school is one of the most important parts of our lives. And I have many good and reliable friends there. We not only learn together but also play in one football team. Sometimes we even travel to other Russian cities together. Speaking about my school, I can say that all teachers are very attentive and kind. They not only teach us school subjects but also give us important social skills. But obviously like every student I have some problems while studying. I guess that I’m not the best student. The most difficult day for me is Friday because we have six classes and two of them are math. And to be honest, math is the most difficult subject for me. In my opinion, cabinets in our school should be repaired because most of them are very old. In summary, I can say that in spite of all difficulties I like my school because all my friends are there.
