The pupils of my school study different subjects such as Ukrainian, Ukrainian Literature, Maths, Physics, History, Geography, English and others. I like English best of all. I am good at Maths and Physics, but am bad at Geography. I have six or seven lessons per day. The pupils of my school have to much homework every day. Many pupils of my school have extracurricular activities. They attend sport clubs and study circles with great pleasure. The teachers in our school are very professional, skilled and experienced. They try to give us all their knowledge and awake our interest to their subjects and to self study. Besides the school subjects, our teachers tell us about everything, about different problems of our world, such as ecology, nature protection and climate changes. All the pupils of our school are friendly, cheerful, intelligent, clever, generous and helpful.

I am happy to study at my school. I like my school very much and I’m proud to be its pupil and I wouldn’t like to change anything in it.
