I think that my school is the best one. I love it very much. Our teachers are kind and intelligent and my classmates are smart and friendly. But everybody has a dream. The dream about our new school - the school of the future. Now I would like to tell you a few words about my ideal school. First of all If I were a Headteacher of my school I would allowed everybody to have an opportunity to use one's phone. The second thing is our homework. So much of it! Don't the teachers know that it is waste of time, our time and theirs. The next. Our holidays. I would like to travel a lot. But when? Our holidays must be a bit longer I think. And at last the equipment of our classrooms! What do we see? There are few computers which we can use. My dream is every classroom has ten and more new computers with Internet. It's school of my dream.
Я думаю, что моя школа лучшая. Я ее очень люблю. Наши преподаватели добрые интеллигентные, и мои одноклассники умные и дружелюбные. Но у каждого есть мечта. Мечта о нашей новой школе - школе будущего. Теперь я хотела бы сказать вам несколько слов о моей идеальной школе. Прежде всего, если бы я была директором школы, я бы позволила бы всем иметь возможность использовать свой телефон. Второе, это наше домашнее задание. Так много! Разве учителя не знают, что это пустая трата времени, нашего времени и их. Далее. Наши каникулы. Я хотела бы много путешествовать. Но когда? Наши каникулы должны быть немного больше по времени, я думаю. И, наконец, оборудование наших классов! Что же мы видим? Есть несколько компьютеров, которые мы можем использовать. Моя мечта - в каждом классе десять и более новых компьютеров с интернетом. Это школа моей мечты.
