What is your typical school day like?
What is your favourite subject and why?
What do you like most about your school?
I’d like to tell you about my school and my typical school routine.
I study at lyceum 87 which specializes in Physics and Maths. It offers a general course of academic and non-academic subjects giving secondary education as well as it offers a wide choice of additional courses giving profound knowledge in different fields. As for me, I specialize in Humanities because I have always been interested in them. My school is far from my house. It takes me 40 minutes to get to lyceum, that’s why I usually go there by bus. My school day starts at half past 8 am and finishes at 2 pm. I usually have 6 lessons a day. At 1pm I have lunch in the canteen or eat a packed lunch taken from home. I come home at 3 pm, have a little rest and do homework. It usually takes me 3-4 hours. Then I watch TV or go for a walk with my friends if the weather is fine or read a book. At 10 I go to bed.
My favourite subject is English because if you speak it you can read papers, magazines and original books by great writers, watch satellite TV programs. English is very important to find a well paid job. Moreover, our city is visited by foreign tourists and I can help them around the city. For me to know a foreign language means to communicate and understand people all over the world, keep up with the world of information, be in the know of everything what is happening around you. At lessons we read texts, act out dialogues, do crosswords and puzzles, write tests. I enjoy dramatizing texts and dialogues, learning words and grammar. At the same time English is the most difficult subject as it isn’t an easy matter to speak a foreign language and understand it. Frankly speaking, I’m not good at grammar and expressing my ideas but I hope things will improve because I do my best to overcome problems. I try to do a lot of grammar exercises, listen to CDs and welcome each opportunity to communicate with native speakers.
I feel privileged studying at lyceum 87 as in my opinion there are better trained teachers there, it has ideal conditions for studies: we have a gym, a rich library, computer classes. I always feel at home there. Everybody is friendly and easy to get along with. I’m on good terms with most of my classmates and we often spend our free time together.
That’s what I wanted to tell you.
School Homework
How long does it take you to do your homework?

What subject do you usually start with, and why?
Should schoolchildren be given more or less homework, and why?
While studying at school we are to do our homework because we should know rules, poems, information about our school subjects, practice our oral and written skills.
When there are not many lessons, it takes me for about an hour to do my homework. Unfortunately very often we are given a lot of work to do. For example, to write a composition or a project, to learn a long poem, or a dialogue by heart, to copy exercises, to find information and so on, so forth. Then it takes me three or four hours.
First, I usually start doing my lessons with the most difficult ones because at the beginning when you are not tired, you’ll do the lessons more quickly. Second, at the lessons I try to listen to my teachers and classmates attentively. Then at home I just revise the information. Third, I use the method of “key –words”. This method helps me to memorize the events and put them in the logical order.
As far as my English lessons are concerned I start my work with learning new words and phrases. Thus, you will understand a lot in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Then I pay special attention to grammar and listening to all sorts of dialogues, short stories and of course songs. I enjoy them a lot.
And at last, if you do your lessons systematically, you will have a big sack of knowledge, so it won’t take you much time to do the lessons in future.
Studying is no easy matter. It’s a hard job. Frankly speaking, if we didn’t have any homework, we would go to school more eagerly. The schoolchildren prefer socializing to studying. Doing lessons takes much time and you haven’t got enough spare time for your hobbies and relaxation. Surely, we’d like to have less homework. But on the other hand, we can’t avoid it. Nowadays there’s so much information which we have to understand and memorize and if you want to be competitive, you should attend extra classes and courses apart from doing your homework.
There is a motto of three L -“Life Long Learning” and I try to follow it.
